Anti-Truth

 

 

Truth isn’t truth we’re told

The sky may look blue

Actually, it’s a Dalmatian pattern

According to the malignant mind.

 

Nullifying all of the senses

And sense itself

Free speech free of the reasons

Free of wind, rain and sunshine.

 

Just words at a studio

Denying the words you hear

The air you breath

The transparent clothes you wear.

 

Mere illusions, (fraudulent speech),

A winding mountain road

May seem precarious but is

As safe as walking in space.
