Uh oh. Another one started.

Apparently, my creative side is pissed!
So far, in response to an excellent tweet, this just tumbled out...

‪Every time I’m on the brink ‬
‪You pull me back so I don’t sink‬
‪The lies, so dead, begin to stink‬
‪I’d like to buy the truth a drink. ‬


I’m hoping this one will be more subtle. I’ll post back if it comes out fairly well.

3. How's this? More subtle at least than the first one.

Time is wasted on the youth
They can’t tell white lies from the truth
When the story breaks this time for real
Find a way to just not feel

For all of your indignant ways
You question your beliefs these days
Forgive me if I don’t reply
Twitter lives while people die

‪Every time I’m on the brink ‬
‪You pull me back so I don’t sink‬
‪The lies, so dead, begin to stink‬
‪I’d like to buy the truth a drink. ‬

Why can’t you look me in the eyes
You know I know it’s all been lies
Forgive me if I look astray
For you, this is the only way

I try hard to erase your voice
What is freedom, what is choice
Your crooked tongue has gotten old
Unlike you, I won’t be sold.

‪Every time I’m on the brink ‬
‪You pull me back so I don’t sink‬
‪The lies, so dead, begin to stink‬
‪I’d like to buy the truth a drink. ‬

4. I've been writing lyrics.

Don’t know if this one would be acceptable. As straight poetry, I wouldn’t repeat the “buy the truth” quatrain. It would just be last.
