Alternate Facts.

Goldfinch60



The lies are always out there,

Can they ever tell the truth?

They say they can fix it,

The words come from their mouth.

 

But every time they utter,

Another lie is told,

To try and get elected,

Into the protected fold.

 

They deny that they’re are lying,

They always tell  truth,

Well the truth that they envisage,

Before the election booth.

 

Their lies may be so different ,

They say they will ban tax,

But all they are really doing,

Is stating ‘alternate facts.’

  • Comment from author about the poem: "How do you know when a politician is lying?" "There lips move!" Saw this in that paper saying that politicians do not lie, they use 'Alternative Facts'.

    I'm not into politics much.

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ! Angela & I expect to still be around in 2080 so we have to take politics seriously and vote for the best local MPS for our Community ! Uncosted Policies for Health ~ Education & Community etc are worthless. But unlike many Countries in the World we are still a Democracy & A Monarchy ! Whether we REMAIN or BREXIT the UK is still one of the most stable Countries to live in ~ in the UNIVERSE ! AMEN !

    Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOUR Lovely JOYCE
    Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💚🧡💚🧡💚

      Election getting you down too Andy?

      Amazing... a poem about lies is so true

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you Andrew.

      • Alan .S. Jeeves

        Is what you write really true Andy?

        Good number though, Ah! Joe Meek....
        Fabulous session player Clem Cattini drummed on this one in Joe's flat. Clem has played on hundreds of charted records including (I think) 41 No 1's. He's known for his modesty though, he never bangs on about it.

        Ex animo, Alan

          To be honest Alan I don't know what to believe but I am not convinced that any politician at the moment is in office to help this country.

          That has always been one of the numbers that I have enjoyed and I was there when it first came out in 1962.

          Andy.
