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.
