and others of their kind

the falsehood will be stripped from what remains
truth will appear in its most radiant guise
the catch in the throat the gasp that detains

it isn't so much that the bullshitter strains
to give effect to what he knows are lies
the falsehood will be stripped from what remains

we're told the story know it took such pains
as liars take to make themselves seem wise
the catch in the throat the gasp that detains

no one would question why the hand refrains
from tearing down the veil that hid the spies
the falsehood will be stripped from what remains

insensible not a thought's crept through the brains
of these that once we lauded to the skies
the catch in the throat the gasp that detains

the broadest roads will end as country lanes
at dungheaps where rejoice the buzzing flies
the falsehood will be stripped from what remains
the catch in the throat the gasp that detains
