‘I never lied!’
The headlines cried
when they decided to put him away.
Thinking that all he had to do
to change the world
was break it
than remake it
the way he saw it in his head.
All turned blind eyes
pretending not to see
the nefarious plots
he put into motion
dangers that he created
until finally
it could be ignored no more.
When the wild mad man
began to cut off the fingers in the pie
it was time for him to go.
‘I never lied’
he cried aloud
‘not once did I never speak true.’
And were one to go back
and read all the papers
they would read…..
he had announced
each and every one of his plans
they were just too blind to see.
