War On Truth

 

It’s covert

      in the dark

         behind the scenes

            between the lines

               up their sleeves

The war on truth is like no other

 

Religious phrases

with subliminal messages

      weapons that kill

           minds

              souls

                 wills

                    no’s

Leaving shells that skew body counts

 

God fearing soldiers

       fear of terror

          fear of foreigners

             fear of taxes

                fear of liberals

Stockpiling patriotic fear

 

Lines blur

        preach at rallies

           campaign in church

Information gets lost

Questions go unanawered

 

The administration capitalizes

on innocence and ignorance

 

Christian soldiers march on

in a trance

"The War On Truth" is a picture of the reality... Yes...
THE INQUISITION DAYS ARE ACTIVE AGAIN!

This poem, "The War On Truth" is a prohphetic alert: IF WE KEEP ON ALLOWING THE VIOLATORS OF THE CONSTITUTION TO PLAY IN PUBLIC OFFICES,
next thing we will see is THE SLAVEYARD GATE.

Sandy, You are new to me... and such a welcome voice!

Your words, disturbing and so true, are bold and accurate. If such disastrous reality can bring fresh air, you are surely that breeze I seek. You have guts... and you are brave. I tip my hat to your blogs, your poetry, to your presence in this den.

At no other time have people supported policies that so damage the United States, both at home and abroad. At no other time have people been lied to so much. At no other time have the deficit and social programs for the poor been so ingnored.
