Tell Us Lies
Short poem about our 'noble' system of government.
Rated:
ASR
by
Avg Rating: (5)
Noble system
Tell us lies.
Bring us corrupted,
Hold them on high.

Ne’er mind the obvious -
Fabrication is easy.
Just yank the threads
So none can see.

Noble system
Play us for fools.
We’ve already
Given you the tools.

Ne’er mind reasons -
Assuage our guilt.
Dig in with words,
Right to the hilt.

Noble system
You have cheated.
But worry not,
For we shall still be led.
