a ledger of lies
the world has always been a lie
and if you don’t know that as a fact
you’re living an imaginary life
if you follow the money you’ll find the lies
whether in ukraine or tehran
cairo or athens or amsterdam
the korean peninsula or washington dc
gold is still the real deal
but printed money is another lie
fake proceeds pumped into the stock market
simply because it gets high on bloatedness
and loves to implode
the lies are in the grocery stores
in parking lots
pizza places & ballparks
car dealerships & gas stations
the lies are in the air like electricity
almost always for sale
sometimes on the open market
other times in the dark web
june two thousand twenty-two
