Somebody Lied

Somebody Lied,
And we ate the words as feeds,
Lies they told us as kids,
Beautiful lies that tasted like sweets,
An assurance of tomorrow.

A tomorrow which may not yield,
And even if it did,
In abundance a bounty of seeds,
Seeds not from weeds,
In large bags and not quids,
Such viewed with raised eyebrows.

Eyebrows of the jealous with deeds,
Deeds carried at heart like beads,
Beads which has blinded him with greed,
Asked he'd refute it,
Refute it with words as shields,
See, an offspring he is.

Somebody lied,
When they said we'd reap,
Reap a plethora of sweet smelling mint,
Mint in multiple bundles the size of pints,
Accrued for days longer than a stint.

We believed,
We believed these lies,
We swallowed them like tea
They turned out to be expired pills,
Pills causing discomfort not just to the teeth,
Stomach rumbling to the scars from these seeds,
Now nauseated we fall sick,
And with regrets we should't have believed.

Somebody lied,
Ruminating we wonder who did,
The red coats who created the deed?
The men in opulence wearing fine prints?
Or the FEC sharing the seats?
Expectant, we wait, we sit,
We do not care whose head it fits,
The axe of justice must make its hit,
The liar or offspring must pay the fees.
