Success Of Lies.

Shout Out for the EZRA Collective who stormed Glastonbury tonight, showing there is some hope for our youth of today.

The Success of Lies.

 

Come on Son for God's sake what are you doing that for.

Why don’t you listen, I told you so many times before.

Your never get the people to have faith and believe in you.

If all you keep doing is preach them the simple truth.

 

It is critical to continuously preach the same old lies.

It is the only way we will be able to succeed in this life.

The bigger they are, the better the more unbelievable.

Then the more the sad lonesome sheep will follow you.

 

These are the golden rules for us to follow of life's game.

Be proud of your contempt and deceit don't ever change.

Remember to repeat those lies as loud and often as you can.

Overtime they will believe you are an honourable man.

 

Come on Son, take my hand watch, listen and follow me.

Can you see the power I have with blatant dishonesty.

So, Son how the Hell can you expect to rule the world.

If you keep insisting on letting the truth, be told.

 

Tobani May 2025.

    Wow. Very nice. And a sad world we live in when that’s the way things are.

      Was this the first day of politician school? A sad but fun read that seems to be its own Bible of a sort. Loved it

        This is powerful. The truth and dishonesty mixed together to give confusion. Its a deep and serious question. Well done

              Spoken like a prophet of plainness! And the funny thing is, even now, the Son's followers will still fall mostly deaf to its message! Not a judgment toward anyone, just an observation. I am a believer so this could apply to me too, but I hear it's message loud and clear, my friend. I hope and pray, fuck that, I will shout it out along with you. This is why the Jesus Facepalm meme was created! Because even plain speech and common sense gets ignored by the ones who supposedly hold "The way, the truth, and the life". πŸŒΉπŸ‘

                Thank you for your feedback, it started as a thought of donald talking to his when they were younger, then I realised it had other connotations, enjoy the rest of your day

                  Ah! Yes!!! That makes total sense! Great poem. You are very welcome!

                  An oblique view of the state the world is in. Lies and cons everywhere.
                  Very much enjoyed this for it's irony.

                    I feel a poem in the form of a slap that awakens, a perfect discourse that leaves us with more questions than before, but with a very clear reflection that we are very distracted. It's always a pleasure to read you, sir.

                    • Poetic Licence

                      Thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated as always

                    • Cheeky Missy

                      That twist in concluding, the entire sarcastic discussion is so deliciously rendered it simply drips with burning hot sarcasm. Oh! How gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and a subtly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Superb.
