Power of the press
What is written must be true
Sage advice or no?
What is truth these days?
Raving politicians shout
Sprouting discontent
Suspect voices hoarse
Spreading lies, chain reaction
Bags of fear let loose
Promising so much
The voters simply doubtful
So they veer away
Same lies told over
Rank stench of distrust abounds
Only iceberg's tip seen

ReplyDeleteYes, I’m afraid only the iceberg of discontent is visible. What has happened to our great country?
ReplyDeleteI remember ages ago when I actually put faith in the written word. But it was never more than another way to talk.
ReplyDeleteThe truth - your poetic words.
