\t\t\t\tLife is a pack of lies.<\/p>\n
Success stories thrive in press releases and art school propaganda.<\/p>\n
Reality languishes in sewers of spiritual meat.<\/p>\n
There is no meat in America\u2019s hope chest.<\/p>\n
Grandiosities torture your neighbors, humiliate a city\u2019s carbon footprint, dry paint on fingernails of gingerbread boys.<\/p>\n
Most of your friends do not know their food is cooked in laundry machines and their clothing served as feasts at times of famine.<\/p>\n
I Saw You.
\nI saw you sitting alone in the parking lot,
\nlaughing to yourself,
\nlaughing like a comedian who has never told a successful joke.
\nI thought you would be better off staring at a Laundromat,<\/p>\n
Show me a man whose life is not built on lies and I will show you a pillar of fabrications.<\/p>\n
Is not every sentence articulated by every sheep of the field a continuous flow of deceptions?<\/p>\n
Is there a single sentence you have uttered this day that did not contain lies in its heritage?<\/p>\n
Are you not merciful in your examination of truth when the depth of falsehoods knows no limits, not even in childish fantasies?<\/p>\n
Give me one society that is not built on lies and I will hand you that society in return, fully formed, fully flushed down history\u2019s unwritten toilets.<\/p>\n
Everything is lies. All mannerisms, all expedience, every expression of love or disdain is rooted in profoundest lies.<\/p>\n
The jester\u2019s lies pass through press releases and history books unscathed, unquestioned.<\/p>\n
The fool\u2019s lies pass through small talk and anger with honor and conceit.<\/p>\n
This universe is a spiraling hole of deceptions.<\/p>\n
You begin your day with fabrications, pass your days in emptiness, end your days with voiceless whispers of continuous self-deception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
