“Diamonds and Lies” by Brenda York
above the treeline
voices carry forever
circling the globe
every lie ever told
weightless words
shallow breaths
of thin air lifted
swiftly on currents
corrupt in their
power to populate
credulous minds
with insidious facts
of dishonesty
misinformation
combining with
disinformation
accomplish the
very worst kinds
of deception
creating electronic
truths bearing
echoes of gospel
