Bum lie

Poetic Dan


They say you need to be a part of it to make changes
Although they seem to make better ways to maintain it

 

Anyone who knows or reads my words, understand I love all that I have

 

It all slowly came as a gift so I treasure every moment with it, 
But if that day ever comes and they take me away

 

Stand me up and ask for my honest reply, for the reasons that I have refused to comply!

 

Even now my stomach twists around inside, as my ancestors mixed with poets rise.

 

Because your whole damn system is broken and a lie, peace doesn't need Force to comply.

 

We all know it and looking for more to show it
I am not sitting on gold, my wealth is given back

 

To other tired souls, on this, single lie line!

On a runaway track

Looking for a way out of the past

Knowing truth is not what they ask

But we all want it deep down in our hearts

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this late at night after reading an inspirational post by another poet, it was meant to be "big lie" but I thought I'd leave it as it is. Much peace and respect

    Oh that life were simple, but that would merely present us a different set of frustrations.
    We are each born into the system, a product of wherever our parents fitted into it.
    Fortunately we have the intelligence to perceive another way, though its questionably better? for crooks and deceivers would still be amongst us.

    You sure know how to get the juices flowing when you write provocatively.

      Well no one has ever told me that before my friend!
      What an outstanding complaint.... Always much appreciated

      we are fed, or should that be force fed a lot of bum lies throughout our lives... I can imagine you writing away late into the night trying to capture every last drop of that inspiration..... Neville

              Also the crooks and deceivers were the greatest teachers 😉
              Helping find the ones that are true to them selves

                But lessons can be expensive when the crooks and deceivers have taken away the wherewithall to put food on your child's plate. I'd rather play safe. Better the devil you DO know than the one you don't.

                This has to be one of your best Dan - - loved the title and what it portrayed - - your late-night writing expresses poetically every last drop of your chosen subject. Great read.

                  Wow thank you so much, there was a lot of passion and been wanting to write something like this for a while.
                  I was surprised to see what title I wrote the next morning, glad I keep it lol

                  Always appreciated

                  Amazing piece, encompassing emotions of where you are and what could be.

                  • Poetic Dan

                    My friend thank you so much as it was your amazing expression of "lie is the new truth" that help me spin this piece. It was straight after reading yours, I printed mine

                    Always appreciated
                    Much peace and respect

                    There are so many paths in our lives, those in power try to send you down the paths that they want you to go, to go their way, well their way is often wrong. We must travel our own paths to reach the fulfilment in our lives that we all deserve.

                      Brilliantly said my friend!
