My eyes will not be deceived
Looking out the window
This day is about to begin
The sunrise is glimmering on the horizon
An orange glow reflects on the shimmering water
I have seen this before
It is what I know to be true
There for all to see
The obviousness can’t be ignored
Then today, like many other days
I find it full of contradictions, truth obscured
Events that happened, didn’t
Events that didn’t happen, did
Read on, they tell you
This is all that’s true
Don’t let your eyes deceive you
This is your trusted source
Insistence that the sun is not rising today
That glimmer on the horizon is an illusion
The water does not shimmer
There is no orange, let alone a glow
They insist your eyes are deceiving you
Listen to us, we tell the truth
Our anonymous sources are impeccable
Trust us…
Breathtaking depths of deception
So many blinded by false trust
They were impeccable sources after all
Truth commandeered, an attempted hijacking of what’s real
The obvious then becomes undeniable
Reality is impossible to suppress
Truth itself is glimmering on the horizon
Shimmering on the water for all to see
Make no mistake, it is no longer their truth
The sun did rise today
What has known to be true, is true
My eyes will not be deceived
