Despite the facts

Facts don’t seem to matter so much anymore
We believe what we want to believe
And make up stories to make ourselves feel better
To make ourselves feel safe
To make ourselves feel important. 

We make excuses,
And project blame onto other people or things
While we work very hard to absolve ourselves –

But it always remains a matter of fact.

The media are not the custodians of truth
They tell stories to make you believe what they want you to believe.
And others will try and convince you that “they know best”.

But the truth is like a lion,
You don’t have to defend it
Just let it loose.
It will defend itself.
