Minimizing the Truth

Voltaire, a French writer. ( 1694-1778 )

Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare the truth thou hast, that all may share. Be bold, proclaim it everywhere; Those who dare

MINIMIZING THE TRUTH

This country of ours was built on hope

Implemented boldly by the best of men

Thinking that honesty would follow their dream

Not believing that liars would laugh at them

Their laughter rings out from the halls of justice

Where outlandish laws are held up for the cronies

It comes down to fact they are just an accomplice

To a congress made up of too many phonies

Congress seats are shared by the good, bad, and ugly

The righteous, the liars, the thieves

When liars and thieves hold majority, quite bluntly

I'm here to tell you we are all quite deceived

At home at The White House the president prevails

Amid the corruption legislation has sold

With abundance of lies our truth has just failed

And the laughter heard from Washington makes our blood run cold

Minimizing the truth has left us more vulnerable

Don't think that the terrorist can't see that

Apology tours and bogus laws are intolerable

As are unbridled spending and ever growing tax
