A symptom of our universe

The New Truth

by Mike Stevens

The not true becomes the new true
In the land of the red, white, and blue
 
A lie repeated enough is given credence,
How do you fight it? What's  the defense?
 
A man bent on dictatorship waves his hand,
And gullible becomes his marching band
 
Truth nothing more than a means to an end
Creating a disease from which we'll  never mend
 
The damage he's causing, but who is to blame?
We're  playing a most dangerous game
 
He wouldn't  matter if we refused to hear
His gas lighting using coercion and fear
