The Manipulation Of Information

The Manipulation Of Information

A Poem by Mavis Bard

I’m listening
To the truth
Cut in half
Shut the lids?
Shut the kids?
Cut the kids in half!
I’m making love
To the vagueness
Of language
Compromise your faith
You better not
Propagate your faith
Gypsies are thieves
And that’s the way it is
Gypsies are thieves
And that’s the way it is
Why don’t you generalize me?
Don’t you
Don’t you generalize me!
Won’t you?

It’s all just a lie

Welcome to the bowels of hell
Where heaven is scourged and foreigners smell
Of lust and blood and blood is mine
And greed is love and love is blind

I’m speaking
The truth
Layered in lies
She’s so sly
She paralyzes
And spreads her thighs
And goes and goes and
Goes and goes and goes
I’m laughing at
The sound of
Those calloused words
Spreading high
Defecting low
My country
Right or wrong
My country
Right or wrong
Religion is the song
What have you said
To make me go awry
To make me go awry?
I’m such a fool
Not to believe my eye
I’m feeling very high
As high as a lie

It’s all just a lie
A little itty bitty lie

This is too wonderful to be read silently... it must be read outloud.
