Welcome to the era of
Profound dissimulation
A host of smokescreens and deceit
That’s sweeping ‘cross the nation
Truth is out and lies are in
Facts have taken hard the “L”
We don’t know what is going on
Credibility’s gone to hell
Was once the day integrity
Was something that we strived
Now doing anything it takes
Is how the cheats survive
You no longer can reason with
The Right’s no longer “right”
Like bringing out your ballpoint pen
To the ugliest knife fight
I’ve no solution at this time
But hope you don’t lose heart
We can’t stoop to their level now
At least that is a start
If memory serves, in time of plight
We can’t give in to doubt
When hubris taints a clouded mind
The meek may still win out!
