Strategic Untruths

Neville

Strategic Untruths

 

when did you

find out

precisely, that

so many

universal truths

are so

very often, hid

and so well,

behind false

smiles,

spilt ink, fake

news

and so many

other

strategic,

pre-fabricated

and mass

produced lies ..

      I fear it is a sign of the times and I aint talking newspapers .. well I am actually, as well as so many other things including all forms of media, organizations, groups and so very many members of my own species .. Neville

      I really appreciate this, I could never pretend even when I'm a grumpy bitch it's better than being fake lol ❀️ Instagram one the worst as everyone as a filter.

        I'm glad we are on the same side but fear it's a war we can not possibly win ❀️

          Teddy, I am commenting because there is no "like" button for your comment... after Neville's downer, you added just the right amount of sarcasm to bring me back to my usual Pollyanna mental state.

          • Teddy.15

            My pleasure dear Jarcher54 honoured that you liked lol

                    A nicely put truth Neville. Truth has always been hidden behind distortions and needs to be mined like any precious metal.

                    • Neville



                      now that's a very good and most agreeable way of looking at it .. many thanks my friend .. N πŸ™‚

                      It isn’t very nice or fair to lie .. tho I know some people can easily do that . Some very selfish people in this world πŸ€”


                      So many people can lie .. even on the internet ..and we cannot always believe what we read , see or listen to.

                      I never even listen to or watch the news .. I know it’s always pretty much negative anyway

                      • Neville



                        I feel strongly about it too .. thanks for visiting and for being honest with me ..

                        Media report what people say. Where do the liars originate? Falsehoods spoken publicly should be illegal. Force them to show the proof.
                        What happens is, the liars inundate the airwaves with their crap. There is not enough time to hold them all responsible. Only the voters can change this. Remove the liars from office and replace them with truthtellers.
                        You've made a very valid point in your poem and now I'm riled up. - Phil A.

                          Oops sorry Phil, it seems we share the same set of raw nerves .. You go chill, I'll just keep my head down until it all blows over .. πŸ‘

                          factory built-in, manufactured
                          in every aspect of our life
                          from tissues for our seasonal
                          sneezes, allergic
                          to all the bulsht we're forced
                          to live with
                          and those flat packed, lies
                          we tire of deciphering, just
                          to get a glimpse of what
                          has already been done to us...
                          hear their trumpets
                          a new election year beckons
                          where we'll be drowned in
                          all the fake mud, they can manage
                          to sling at each other
                          while, hi-fiving each other
                          for another performance, keeping us
                          distracted from what crimes
                          they're really committing
                          still, it's all getting better
                          since years later, them cops
                          will get em good
                          for that 'one' party they held
                          while, there is a deafening
                          silence
                          about the money they blatantly embezzled
                          or all those abuses of power
                          they get away with, every time!
                          (thank you! Hyung
                          for affording me an avenue
                          to let these words, off of my
                          overtly opinionated chest, lol)

                              'flat packed;' that's an excellent metaphor! Our misery requires assembly.
