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.
