lywers

 Liars, lawyers and paying clients,

With witnesses who have not seen,

Appear, like prattling postage stamps,

Every day on video screens.

Politicians, shysters, grifters

Crawl as worms from rotting wood,

Alter words like slick shapeshifters,

Change left to right and bad to good.

Twisting truth, they try to persuade us

Make us unsure of where we stand

What we knew now seems to evade us,

We feel that we’re standing on quicksand.

But this planet cannot be glibly lied to

It’s changing because of our greeds and needs,

There’s no easy exit, yet we try to find one

But business as usual can no longer proceed.
