playing around again, like my "Potluck..." posted earlier this week

In Truth, Indeed?

tis the winner
of our disconnect
as each would
misdirect
the senses of the hearers
the seers
the doers
the boo-hooers

the pooh-pooers
that hang outside the door
hoping for the floor
so they can speak the more
into circumstances dances
what were the chances
that there would be any sense
to it at all, this fall

when mud for eyes
and eyes for mud
goes slinging and flinging
past truth and half-truth
for flim-flamming
and flip-flopping
as salmon on the sand
surrounded by land
that takes their breath away

how can they convey
some plan to save the day
when their focus
is to talk us
into running from
a harsher truth

forsooth?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

forsooth, if they told the truth
you would all vote another way.

That is if I am reading this correctly, however a very good piece, well put.

hehehe, you are reading it right and giving me a chuckle to boot!
