The Deployment Of Lies Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Lies are now part of the survival kit now
In every situation lies are unnecessarily deployed
To muffle or to distort reality
To silence critics and bully the honest
It is a terrible situation
Lies are deployed in front of children
Fathers and mothers are recklessly using lies
To defend their indefensible behaviour
Young children are adopting this dark art
To disarm their school yard competitors
And to deceive their unsuspecting teachers
Pastors and the so called "prophets"
Are feeding the flock with lies
To nourish their congregations
It is total chaos
When lies are deployed in churches and other religious gatherings
The dark cloud of lies
Hovers over our heads
Every time we listen to television, radio and other news outlets
No one is innocent
We are all players in this deadly game
Unless we disarm ourselves of these lies
We are doomed to wallow in the pool of wickedness
