Fatal Truths

 

The influencer formerly revered
by we fence sitting cowards
so petrified of confrontation
we self muzzled contentious observations..

But not our pot stirrer hero..

They were fearless in their pursuit

of unvarnished truth

with unabridged opinions

unabashedly shared..

Until that fateful day

our favorite attack dog

looked back our way

and turned their fangs on us..

Yes, we shot the messenger

cause this is what hypocrites do

when confronted with realities

they know is the enemy

to preservation of the lies

we phonies hold dear
