soon you'll be good at it
by Charlie Morganall people lie; i'm lying right now!
oh, you're not who you say you are.
you're probably a woman;
just dressed as a mailman.
you know who you are, YOU!
the beady eyes are not it;
it's the power-tie, name tag:
the license to lie, permission
to do so at their expense. lie.
lie, lie, lie.
go home: repeat as needed. 11/24/2008 Posted on 11/24/2008

It rings true from the political system to the newsmakers...they say and report what they want ...or is it because its what we want to hear? (yep. this girl was at one time a fireman... let me correct that - firefighter) Hugs to you. Lots and lots of hugs, ~N |
