The Government Tell Lies

Fat Cats only want the cream not peace

The Government Tell Lies

I once believed the words they spun,

A tale of truth, beneath the sun.

Their promises like gilded chains,

Hiding truth within the reins.

They spoke of freedom, bold and clear,

Yet whispered whispers fed my fear.

A glossy smile, a shaking hand,

Deceit disguised as a helping hand.

I fell for every word they said,

Forgetting how the truth had bled.

The fabric torn, the veil so thin,

I questioned when the lies begin.

Now I see the puppet strings,

Tangled deep in crooked things.

A game of power, they hold the sway,

While the people’s trust is led astray.

Behind the masks, the false refrain,

Their promises are laced with pain.

A government that seeks control,

Betrays the very heart and soul.

Fat cat out to better the rich,

Stuff the poor because life is one bitch.

A wasted vote, a web so false untrue.

They help the rich, and stuff the poor.
