A Lie

The calamity of the situation.

Living.

A lie.

The court documents. The media.

The charges and fear mongering.

A profound confabulation to psychologically destroy my reputation.

A lie.

The reputation. No person is illegal. The evidence that never was found.

The makeshift jail.

For an innocent man.

The scattered rumours.

You should always check the bias.

Who told you this information?

And why?

Critical thinking.

My life thrust into turmoil.

A lie.

I live to water my garden.

Nothing gets to me.

Because I am a rock.

Hit a brick wall and nothing can break you.

A lie.

A lie.
