Of all the baggage

I've carried through life

None has weighed me down

Like words from politicians.

They don't mask their lies.

They look into the camera

And never flinch a muscle

So trained are they at deception.

I have seen tyrants and killers

Using the same aplomb.

Never admit you are wrong,

Just keep feeding lies to us dumb.

Fortunately all these liars

Come to the same end.

They are buried like we are,

Under six feet of dirt.

History is kind to the worst of men;

No sense kicking a dead horse again.

But once in a great while, the truth is told,

And their legacy seems to unfold.

Save us the wait and let's see it now.

For it comes before our faces on TV

Almost on a daily basis covered with cream

But no cherry, for it melts before wise eyes.
