The Truth – a poem

The Truth

The truth is usually grey.

It doesn’t stand up to the light of day.

What appears to be absolute

Rapidly falls into fierce dispute,

As the truth falls prey

To political decay.

Opher 19.8.2018

I wrote this for all those people who take their news from all those fake sites out there on the web, busy pushing their propaganda:  for those who take the mainstream news as gospel; for those who really believe that they have the only handle on what is really going on.

This is tribal.

This is all lies.

Tory policy!

Give to the rich and take from the poor!! Don’t worry it’ll make Britain richer!

How to mess up a country in three easy lessons! Johnson, Truss and Sunak!

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men.

They take from the poor and give to the rich

What a bitch! What a bitch! What a bitch!

Robin Hood in Reverse!!

Let the poor starve!! We’re alright! Never had it so good!!
