\na steady stream of lies
\nno filter \u2013 critical
\nthinking (a lost
\nart) we forge forward
\nasking no questions
\nand the one we should
\n sitting idle on our tongues<\/p>\n
\nanswers be found \u2013 amongst the singing
\nstars; sonorous ocean swells, dulcet
\ntones of a rainbow and in the
\nmelodic hum of trees
\n alive with promise<\/p>\n
