Spitting Out the Bad Apples!


 Linking today with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 142


Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.

 ~Winston Churchill

 

 I am hungry for a greater truth

Something more than chewed up lies

Real becomes a fairytale when what is seen is a disguise

It seems that what was up is now down

And that righteousness is some form of hate

If that’s your wealth of knowledge to impart

Then I will keep my empty plate!

  2. I LOVE that Churchill quote. I'd not seen it before, but it goes in my book of quotes. We are all hungry for the greater truth, for sure. Perhaps some true colors have been shown at last.
