Eyes Aren\'t Lies

i don’t care to do the tango
with a giant, menacing mango
maneuvering white...
 
manure?—no,
 
chalky urates excretion
swirled dairy dessert-style;
 
green tar topping
with a shit-ton of ICE.
 
plainly,
to be precise,
i don’t drink that crap they sell,
nor do i live in that poisoned well.
 
evil seen is evil done—our eyes aren’t lies—
we must resist the evil we despise,
not with might, hate, or more lies,
 
but with integrity and truth, undisguised.
 
no longer hidden—evil’s demise—
the tenacious truth topples frauds
and  tells those with ears to hear,
and hearts open enough to absorb, that
 
the darkest days are yet to come.
