TRUTHFUL LIES

 

                                                           

They told us stories of a better tomorrow

They promised to heal the land

They prophesied the greatness of her children

They proclaimed freedom for all

But the wolves are targeting the success

Now we have given the wolves seats

They have maimed the land

And cast her children in a cage

The land is flowing with WEEPING BLOOD

But her children were blinded by funny

Promises, ridiculous vows and unbelievable stories

Now the sheep’s have realized that they

Were wolves in SHEEP clothing

They told lies that suit their land purpose

But those lies were too incredible

To be truthful

….

But then we didn’t realize that

They were all TRUTHFUL LIES.
