24 lines of lies

March 20, 2015

The sky,

So clear.

Oh, the grass,

So green.

Ah, the trees and bushes,

So sturdy and vivid.

The mountains an hills,

So tall.

Oh, the mammals,

So plentiful and care-free,

Ah, the birds,

So musical.

The fish,

So clean.

Oh, the bodies of water,

So fresh.

Ah, the plains and deserts,

So fine and flat.

The men and women,

So cooperative and conservative,

Oh, the Earth,

So virgin.

Ah, the space beyond,

So natural.

…Alas, the truth,

So opposite.
