Subterfuge

Civilization is the lamb's skin in which barbarism masquerades. ~ Thomas Bailey Aldrich

One day folds into the next

Masquerading as progress

While hope dims and dies

 

Misleading rhetoric floods the airwaves 

Regurgitated lies delivered by talking heads

Unoriginal, veiled hypocrisy sold as truth

... funny, I remember when hypocrisy was thought as a shameful thing, but alas, as you say it's Truthy now :(
I'm repeating myself, Mary, when I say your acrylics are Amazing!!!

Ever seen Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris", one of my all-time favorite movies. He calls it 'Golden Age thinking. ...But yes, I think we're way past that now!
