Easily Bamboozled
Who knows 'who' is telling 'who' the truth these days?
Lieing is as common as ordering fish and chips.
Banana splits with cherries on top.
And...
Get a piece of delicious pecan or apple pie.
With a flaky buttered golden crust,
That melts within your mouth...
Inviting the next taste with a drool!
That's how good these lies are told today.
'Fools galore for sale! Three dozen...fiften dollars!
Per basket! '
And not a face prepared to express remorse.
In fact,
The more sincere the eyes these days...
It appears that's the one telling the biggest lie of all.
And nothing will there be mentioned,
About those pinching each other on the butt...
Throughout the halls of justice.
They are the worst offenders.

But in some sleazy darkened guttered crevice...
The foundation under those 'angel's' feet,
Is being sold at a nice profit.
To someone who's language is foreign.
Rich! No matter how they got it!
Or who they are!
And those with 'angel's feet'
Will be offered first rights to purchase!
That land where 'your' ancestors had the pleasure to steal!
'All of this can be yours...
And,
Once upon a time it was! '
But, if and/or only...
You have an updated passport to sign the agreement.
'That is inside the safe where it sits on our shores! '
AND the agreement 'with' the required transferral of funds,
Has been done in Euros!
To provide you with comfort on that U.S. soil...
Belonging to us to you we will be glad to sell!
Anything to begin to heal and mend,
