“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” George Orwell
A Time Is Coming The goose of innocence was raped by the proper gander of importunate lies hidden openly in limpid eyes like dark lakes of evil on which deceit so carefully floats like lilies of affirmation with scent of something foreboding, a sickly sweetness like rotting figs, the triumph of tyranny over humanity in every generation, until the heat of tyranny raises resistance and a time when the goose is no longer victim. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

This simile carries the poem: “lilies of affirmation with scent of something
foreboding, a sickly sweetness like rotting figs.” It made my blood run cold.

You’re welcome, Paul. There is something inside me that is having the hardest time accepting that humankind seems to be regressing.
