Wherein Lies the Truth?

Prevarication, mendacity, falsehood, untruth, spin, dishonesty, deceit, fraudulent, fallacious, perfidious, and BS all were well established before anyone started talking about alternative reality, alternative facts and post truth.  Blunt language is not telling it like it is when it’s a LIE.

This is the year truth may die

It’s truly the year of the lie.

Lies barefaced, not subtle

Immune to rebuttal

With fact checkers ceasing to try.

Here’s where I stand.

Lying is not my forté

Somehow I give it away

When something’s not true.

So I’ll never lie to you

(As every good liar would say).

Fires and Floods

Here are two sides to the argument about Global Warming, Climate Change, Natural Cycle, Hoax, or End of Days.

The havoc is all aftermath

Of straying too far from God’s path

He’s punishing us

For lasciviousness

The storms are a sign of God’s wrath.

Many have said that Katrina, Hugo, Harvey, Jose and Maria are God’s punishment for the LGBT lifestyles.  Odd, but that sounds to me as though Man’s behavior is the cause of the Fires and Floods.

Burning fossil fuels year after year

Polluted the earth’s atmosphere

The earth warms - we’ll fry it

With our high carbon diet

The science behind it is clear.

The science says it IS Man’s behavior that is the cause of the Fires and Floods.  The solutions are very different, but there is some common ground.
