Confucius Would Laugh
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

 Disguisng the truth is a fallacy.

An oxymoron used that is evident.

Words and their meanings exist

At the whim of the writer.

 

Lies on the other hand,

Try to distort the truth.

Confuse the confused,

Works almost everytime.

 

On the other hand,  simplicity

Elevates the words used.

Like a pyramid built with sand,

It's life is short but interesting.
