The Norm of a Lie

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed. For the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies." Adolf Hitler 1889-1945

THE NORM OF A LIE

It comes someday, the norm of a lie

When the people admire the falsehood creator

Lies perpetuate and seldom die

Truth rarely is the terminator

Slip in the the deck the one big lie

Amid the many little ones told

Convince them all as they stand by

Their naivety is bought and sold

The one big lie revolves around

The one thing that soothes their fear

Pump them up to keep them down

Label it Champaign, their cheap warm beer

They lie with a smile and a pat on the back

People will always respect the way he'll tell it

They stand behind the tainted fact

And dress the lie so they can sell it

No matter no more the size of deception

When truth can be manipulated

It becomes a matter of mere perception

Until wholesome honesty is overrated
