When truth looks on you on-screen
it is devastating-
it numbs your ears, eyes-
your taste buds die-
but come the ornate lie-
you are suddenly
robbed of your senses
and begin to feel, why,
nothing is wrong with the world-
peace is hanging from every tree-
you have a good night’s sleep-
when you wake up
you find the world resting in peace-
