I have eyes But I don't see what I don't like I have ears But I won't hear what I don't want to hear I have a memory But only remember what's convenient I have thoughts But I keep them in safe cages I have a mind But I refuse to change it And so, you see Let rhetoric over-rule logic Let fake news obscure truth Let corruption replace propriety Let bluster confound reason Let nepotism overcome merit Let democracy be obliterated As long as I don't have to admit I was wrong By Phil Roberts
