Feeding the Lies

Here is a quote from Martha Gellhorn who was a war reporter who married Hemmingway (for 5 years" "Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was honey, appetizing,: ...a habit."

Feeding the Lies

Like cherry flavored medicine

And candy coated pills

Lies can be disguised

We never get our fill

Propaganda spread by fairies

That so innocently we trust

Are really bitter lies

That should bring forth our disgust

When we recognize the wrapping

Hides agendas that will harm us

We will search for the reality

And the truth will adequately arm us
