Liar



They lied. 
He lied.
The most powerful man in this country.
He lied. 
I cannot tell a lie, George Washington
The cherry tree
What happened to I cannot tell a lie
The most powerful man in this country
Oh let’s just lie about it, they said
Let’s just make up a story
I paid him back
So he says now
After deciding to lie
Lying trumps truth saying
And the believers say, see we knew it
And the truth sayers flabbergasted fall silent
And even the comics can’t laugh
And we wonder where the monks are
The ones who poured fuel upon themselves
Lit a match and burned for hypocrisy 
They’d be called mad men
Their charred remains blown away
