What is true? Are you a liar

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

WHAT IS TRUE?  Why are we lied to?      A man tells a lie to get sex. A woman lies to herself to make herself feel better. Goverments lie to keep power and dont care who dies. The truth is hard and unfeeling for it cost lives. To be true is to be alone. Because the truth makes goverments liars and murderers. Who gose to jail? The innocent scapegoats who just trying to survive. The truth stranger to all and friend to none. But how do we  live as sheep as woleves eat their fill ?   WHAT TRUTH will get you on your hindfeet and make you say YOU LIARS.

About this poem
