Which liars deny, They did or did not tell... The bigger lie. Or acknowledge any used, To coverup any known! Only shows that lies, Are being told! And on a daily basis, They have been sold! true in sense

I greatly appreciated your comments on 'Fiddling While Rome Burns' so I was curious to read some of your work. I was not disappointed, and thoroughly enjoyed this poem which elicits the same sort of disillusionment that is a very common theme in my own poems. More & more I'm beginning to feel that poetry is the purest form of social commentary. Unfortunately, poets have too small an audience. This poem is most definitely a ten!

Very true, Lawrence. The whole system is built on lies and for lies and lies are being marketed day and night.............10/10.
