Steemit Poetry Contest #8 - Illusions: Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare

We're taught what's wrong and right
and not to question what we're told.
Why not tell us day is night
or ice is hot or the sun cold?

The facts are manufactured
by the crooks that cooks our books
Our thinking muscles fractured
by their lacerating hooks

The so-called facts are bullshit
but its not hard to see
that the teachers dont control it
its the money powers that be
