I’m tired of the lies,
false promises,
delusions, allusions,
and misrepresentations.
.
Saying one thing
and doing another.
No apologies, or
signs of regret.
.
Talking out of
both sides
of the mouth,
spouting nonsense.
.
Always more of the same;
mental gymnastics,
and silly word games.
I’m tired of the lies…
.
I keep telling myself.

Well, here we have a new government today...let's see what that brings.
Why do we stay and still listen . They say because we feel we invested time but it was not worth investing time to liers
So tired, yet no rest in sight
As for me, I' tired of those who believe the lies.
Truth is as rare as rubies in contemporary discourse; your poem captures the resulting outrage elegantly.
Exhausting, right? Great free verse poem!
I hear you!!!
