Debated down the ages,
philosophers had their say;
politicians turned the pages,
honesty died that day!
Truth became a variable,
twisting ways to appear;
a virtue less valuable,
words became less sincere;
The Washington Post banner,
‘Democracy dies in darkness’?
Honestly, it never existed!

I like the first stanza’s history in a nutshell, Shaun, and it’s true, ‘truth became a variable, twisting ways to appear’. I’ve never heard or seen anything as insincere as the current POTUS.

They are. You can see it in his face and hear it in his voice.
