In This World of Lies

1.27.2024

 

In this world of lies

 

Where

 

If integrity still exists

It must be bound in the shadows

Beaten by the fists

Of the unelected and

Mainstream media’s hits

 

I stand for truth

I fight for integrity

I shoot for those stars

 

Though

In irony

I know

A lie to myself is told

To believe

Within this world of lies

To believe

In so lofty a goal

 

But I respond to my lie

With a dream and hope that I

While shooting for those stars

I just might make it

To the moon

I just might find

I’m not alone

 

So

 

In this world of lies

Are you a truth who hides

An integrity alive

Eyes focused on afar

A goal to reach the stars

 

Then

 

As hope will have it soon

I’ll meet you on the moon

Where you too will find a home

Where you are not alone
