SNAPSONG 258 II

He knows no difference

     Between the truth and the lie

Profanity gallops out of his mouth

     Like a rabid horse from a troubled stable

His syllables stumble on the outcrop

     Of an oversize tongue

His consonants are brittle bones

     Constantly at war with peace  

Falsehoods come naturally to him

     Compulsive and serially insane

“If you say the sun rises in the west

     He once declared, “just stick to the line

And watch the people swear

     By the veracity of your science”

For him truth is the way it is

     Because of the way they say it is not

Seal up the schools

     Latch up the labs

Drag out the dons

     And trash their stubborn tomes

Defund their dreams  

     And tame their thoughts

Teach them the way

     To bend and bow
