The Shadow of Truth

Truth shines a dependable light, but people can live in its shadow. The darkness is familiar. The light frightens.

Nobles of money speak about democracy while outrageous plutocracy rages, affecting everyone everywhere. The government consists of 1%ers. In the name of democracy. They grow richer while everyone else grows poorer. As though by a law of nature. In the name of democracy. 

Everyone knows what’s going on. Kids on the streets and kids on country roads know that Money talks and Bullshit walks. Everybody knows. 

I’m assuming that the politicians know. If they don’t, they demonstrate astonishing ignorance. If they do, they perform as astonishing liars. In the name of democracy.

We are equipped to recognise bullshit, whether by fools or crooks. We carry our shadows behind us.
