Why Lie? Poem by Jay W. Allen

Combining the creative efforts
that focused on the assassination attempts

made upon all presidents - past and future -
with the main ideals of capitalism and fears of environmental degeneration

The ozone depletion is a lie
A farce concocted by geniuses

to cover up the tracks of wheels long set in motion
We are the seekers of sight

The sightseers seeing what no others have seen
Stop all production; dumb down and unlearn

Why lie, why deceive?
corruption is easier when the corrupted are corrupt
to relearn is death, but the dead have been walking the earth for years.
