Misdirection

But me no buts
some truths are lies
with enough guts
to improvise
Yet look closely
and you can see
where blurs occur

It May Be True

Who knows what lies
they hide with care
behind their eyes
We should be ware
You smile and sigh
and say it’s my
paranoia

Unthinkable

Holding fast to
dangerous thoughts
passing truth through
news that’s ersatz -
twisted by quacks
into fake facts
one side then lied
