"Mind Games"

Pride comes before destruction

Let the mind games begin...

Turning facts into fallacies, urgh! What a mule

Good deeds? With evil grins

Ousting an honest man, and condemning his sins?

Bright minds unbecoming, using the press as a tool

Deceiving the masses, presuming we are fools

And yet you still go on, thinking you can win

Well then my friend,

Bring it on!

And let the mind games begin.

There's been so much media and political manipulation of the facts lately, that nobody knows the truth of the matter. Well written rant my friend - sums it up!

[L.C. Jarrette]

"Bring it on!" The best game of any of these perpetrators- is no game at all. "Turning facts into fallacies"-yes. Down with 'alternative facts'. Strong, angry, defiant words of challenge. Love this!

[L.C. Jarrette]

wow...thank you very much! it's just s short poem but i'm happy to hear you love it.

[Relic]

I'm sure those mind games have been going on longer than we think. It's just the suit, tie and faces that change.

[L.C. Jarrette]

Wonderfully woven:)

[L.C. Jarrette]

[L.C. Jarrette]

[emipoemi]

Not at all, my friend! It reads so well! The "urgh" may be a little much, but it adds humour.

[L.C. Jarrette]
