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).
