You Can't Handle The Truth

You Can't Handle The Truth

Why is it
that whether
it is the JFK files
FBI dealings with MLK
The Shah
The Persian War
Marcos in Manila
911
The Ousting
of Sadamn Hussein
Benghazi
Hilary Emails
or
the alleged Russian Collusion
we are told we can't
handle the
truth?         

Why Is it
that we 
as Americans
have been groomed
from day one
of our lives
to believe
that we
as a nation
are never wrong
we are the Heroes
our intentions
are for 
the greater
good
Why is it?

Why is it
that our 
society
appears lately
to be
just
livestock
in a barn
with the pigs standing
over us in the Farmer's
clothes
telling us don't worry
Comrade you can't 
handle the truth....

Why is it
 I as a writer
feel that one
day soon
that I and other
poets
like
me
will have our
ink taken
from us
because we can't handle 
the truth.
Why is it?
