Lies

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 25, 2020 

What to

believe?

Who to 

believe?

Why to

believe?

Truth is

fluid,

undefined.

Who’s truth?

Lies all lies.

No truth 

just opinion.

Uninformed 

fluid opinion.

Narratives,

agendas as

truth. 

Propaganda.

“Truth” evolves

fluid in

nature.

Old “truths”

replaced.

New “truths”

replaced,

manipulated.

Subjective truths

influence,

control.

Pulled

from the

ether.

Words, just

words.

Meaningless 

words.

Words signifying 

ignorance.

Signifying 

irrelevance.

Ultimately 

signifying 

nothing

at all.
