All Lies
Folder:
Bumptious Bloated zombie
Float on screen
Deceit written large
Stiff bald face.
Dude eyes --
Speak in terms
Of deliverance.
The hungry journalists
Thirst.
Parched lips
Drink from lies.
Get stomachaches
Matter, top-secret
Saucy to expect
a share of our bread.
Dare the crowds
defy the head
Lap to swallow
all that's left
The cad's vacant promise
Of Righteousness.
Everyone is easily confused, there is a blind faith that extends beyond logic. It makes us want to believe in man.
It doesnt rhyme
Awesome poem, it's very true and I like the way it's written.
Insightful poem. Actors are but puppets, dancing to the tune of the dollar and ego. Journalists, driven by ego and competition to tell the truth as they see it, even when their brain realize it is but a lie, it is because they want to believe. It is like searching for your glasses all over the house and not finding them when they are on your head and you had forgotten that you put them there.

I don't have anything really insightful to share about this poem, other than it's one of my favourites of yours thus far. It's applicability is universal and your in-the-face poetic approach is perfect for these topics.
