“The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.“ Hannah Arendt
Since truth, in this regard, is not a clear notion,
Then our deceits and lies are inefficient,
We can’t-be blamed, please put aside emotion,
And concentrate on how to comprehend
The world through counter-intuition,
I think you’ll find this helps you justify our end.
Our means, you’ll find of very little matter,
When once you understand the truth is vague,
So please be deaf, ignore the chatter,
Ignore those words which I myself may once have said,
On promises a man like me needs must renege,
Suppress the men who speak of freedom killed stone dead!
When all the world insists there is a plague,
Then who am I to disabuse them of this fancy
And speak of life and liberty, instead.
