Every president, prime minister, potentate, has learned the ancient playground fate.
If you lie loud enough, you get the floor, if you lie bigger, they beg for more.
We say it like children, and it is true, for what is a superpower is the only glue.
Who learned that truth is boring, slow, and flat, while lies are fireworks, imagine that
The Economy of the Lie, for truth is inexpensive and does not get you high.
In world of politics, the market rewards the cheap, one tweet can bury ten years deep.
Putin lies about history, Xi lies about harmony, Netanyahu lies about security.
Trump lies about magnitude, the ANC lies about aptitude.
Brussels lies about unity, we lie about our immunity.
We think we are informed, we are upon performed.
Once a joke for the yard, now it's foreign policy, avant-garde.
Claiming you won when have lost, the sea is yours at all cost.
Because the middle does not trend, the nuance does not get you in the end.
Here is the dilemma, profound and pathetic, if you tell the truth, it is not enough erratic.
If you lie, everyone looks and you are establish the hooks.
The politician is trapped like the Mooncalf before, he needs his inferiors to need him more.
So he sets his own pants alight, just to be the brightest in the night.
We watch, we click, we share, we jeer. Liar, liar, we shout, to draw near.
Our mockery is his oxygen, our fact-check is his campaign again.
To call him liar is to give him what he craves, a chorus, an audience, a nation of slaves.
To the spectacle of his burning trousers, while the serious burns behind the houses.
World politics is no longer about governing, it is about hovering.
Above reality, in a permanent live, where pants are on fire is how you survive.
We taught our children not to lie, fire catches them day by day, oh wonder why?
Now children rule the world, and we find, they took the rhyme to heart, in kind.
Liar, liar, pants on fire, hang a nation on a wire, while the world watches the deadly fire.
