Mother Teresa is a saint now The woman who loved poverty and death But what she did is a truth Like the six million dead Jews It has been hammered Into our heads no need to argue The truth is told by historians and some of them Are sent to jail for the sake of truth When a big lie has been established as veracity Anyone who gainsay this Is vilified shut out of the tame press and Given no credit Mother Teresa has reached sainthood and Is in the best company of the untouchable just as It is impossible to discuss the holocaust 's Secular saintliness The truth is what you make of it
