Truth

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)



They lied about the virus.
They lied about the cure.
They lied about the dead,
 as they announced the daily score.
They lie now to the broken,
they lie now to the ill,
they lied to each other,
one thinks they lie still,

Their corruption thrives on our acceptance,
our  willingness to look away,.
the brown envelope  the stolen vote,
the poisons pushed each day.
All hatched by these amoral elites
who will never have to stand,
before the judge they have appointed,
or  the broken common man.

 That Pharma is sick,
a Hyde without Jekyll.
Media a corrupter,
that daily deals deceit.
Governments the crooked card dealer,
stacking all in favor,
of the monsters in the expensive suits,
who's appreciations they savor.

Wars without meaning
drugs with no healing
injustices  transparent
contempt open and sneering
harmful interventions
backward inventions
science corrupted
truths adjusted
history put up for sale
