Truth - Creative Challenge 166


This week's the word(s): the illuminating truth



Truth



The truth was hidden

In seas of lies

Perpetrated by power lust

And greed unwise

Sent out over networks

Of media fame

Good sense was abolished,

Destroyed, or maimed

Give more to the greedy

To create jobs

Was the cry to the ignorant

Hypnotized mobs

Health care will kill grandma

They all did scream

Social Security's

A Socialist dream

They voted against

All common sense

They sold out their country

For twenty sixpence

Truth can be painful

As you can see

Especially when

Illuminated by me

The following song was published in 1941, words and music by Elton Box & Desmond Cox.  I'm adding it for effect.
