Life & Lies

Life is the art of being well deceived; and in order that the deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted.

William Hazlitt English Critic 1778-1830

LIFE & LIES

Since our life's inception

We've submitted to deception

With little or no reflection

We accept our daily injection

Led through our mindless days

Lies told are facts that stay

It becomes our habitual way

In deception we are thrown to play

They lie to explain the evil

To cover the upheaval

If life is ever real

It's just for moments we can steal

They lie to always convince you

And vow to recompense you

Will truth ever come to the rescue?

And dishonesty discontinue?

With the media as co-conspirators

And half the country paid inferiors

Like a deadly boa constrictor

They tend to squeeze each bold inquisitor

What confuses me the most

Is we accept our daily dose

From politicians we won't expose

They continue with their control
