Bed of Lies

Just thoughts on something in my past.

Close your eyes, you can hear the sound of thunder

The rain is falling briskly hitting us down under

The words we get to read, the remarks in plain sight

The world gone bad and will back stab you alright

The criminals they sit with delightful smiles shown

While the chaos and confusion the public is thrown

What we thought was correct info is now just a lie

Our race has gone to s**t and readies for a war cry

What we thought was our freedom now is our chain

Life in the world set in anger and without any refrain

No one knows the truth only making vast assumptions

Our world has been jilted by liars and malfunctions

We sit idle and let the problems pile up in our face

While the leaders get wealthy while killing our race

Little by little we will lose every basic human right

Our race would rather sit still then go after the fight

Because we lay our heads in the bed of lies....

Naysayer and liars, profiteers and greedy people control the world. No profit in peace. Your world, loud and strong. Need to be read by more people. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

So many different worldviews are based upon lies and false assumptions, very true. And Big Money supports this as it keeps the economy turning.

The basic drive is terror of death. Character lies are used to repress that terror.
