Absolutely

Power corrupts
You see it when
hubris erupts
and madness then
rears its fool head
so “truth” gets bled
in zeal to steal

Go_A is a Ukrainian electro-folk band whose song Шум (SHUM) I fell in love with during the 2021 Eurovision contest (they were Ukraine’s representative) which led me to more of their great music. I thought I would post links to some of their songs.

Inherent Worth

A rainbow arched
above the skies
gleamed as truth marched
against more lies
Meant to portend
there'd be an end
for love is love

Imagined friends
tell me straight lies
as the truth wends
in deep disguise
Making me wish
shadows vanish
despite the light
