Truth in News, truth in advertising, etc, Your own truth, valid or not,,,,,

 

 
 
 
If I were dishonest, poured water for your thirst,
From gilded cup, and well, where dishonesty does dwell,
Might not it taste, disguised in honesty dispersed,
Instead it came from hell,
 
Many tankards of this rare brew, of morning mist and dew,
Dispersed by minions, of the fiefs of night,
From poisoned well that water drew,
Steal from you, your truth and light,
 
Trusting freely from the heart, that fetid drink disguised,
Unwearied thirsty souls drink freely of that pond,
By parched and searching souls despised,
Those that truth do seek, in wisdom will respond,
 
Not need my heart and soul to say,
It doesn’t really feel,
I gladly join the fray,
My truth to tell is real,
 
Not swallowed whole of wretched gnomes,
Be they minister or squire,
By million boxes in their homes,
Know not truth from liar,
 
Effort inquisition takes, to fathom and to search,
To see, to find, for want to know,
Much thinking work and much research,
You reap what you will sow,
 
Multi this and multi that, and media galore,
A drunkard brew, for most of you,
They’ll tell you what’s the score,
And tell you that it’s true .
 
Be wary friends, think for yourself,
And search for Gods own truth,
A tidbit on a dusty shelf,
Gin tonic and vermouth,
 
When all the folk, flock to the well,
Proclaim it holy writ,
That path leads straight to hell,
Then quickly run the other way, and hope that you are fit.

Ah, Jasmin, way to go. I've got to say though, slightly unlike our friend, Georg, in his review, I do still place more confidence in newspapers than I do in the noise box. It is interesting how all things are propagated to us, and how much we swallow. Do you know, my area out here has dared have a good economy this year???------Jerry

Once someone told me that if it was wrote on newspapers then it was true.
Somebody should had punched that jerk on his kisser!

Be wary friends, think for yourself

A very wise decision, especially these days; and much research is the key.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
