No Speak

I’m not authorized to speak
Nor substantiate a rumor
Falsification’s at its peak
Especially ill humor

Lies are taken to be fact
The populace is puzzled
The purpose there is to distract
From everyone’s true struggles

It doesn’t matter who’s the source
If lips are moving, lying
The truth it seems is not enforced
They are not even trying

A cautionary tale, this
The words are out there somewhere
Unfortunately we’re remiss
For that we must be aware

@richaux - 2024-10-08 A song for our times -- unfortunately! The lines have a neat rhythm to them too, a nice musical quality to their flow.
