The liars punishment is not in the least that he is
not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
- George Bernard ShawWe look to the gods we know
for retribution, the short proverbs
our long lives have proven true
as we await once certain consequences
yet concerned about our absent deities,
afraid that verbal substitutes like
‘taking care of number one’
becomes the mantra,
becomes the drum
that humanity has learned to march to.
Look away from the circus fools
‘lest we give them credence.

Yep. Trump is obviously prospering from lying and he certainly doesn’t want to believe anybody else. Thanks for your lovely insights. I’m gonna take care of number one and just try my best to get thru the next three years!
