Lies and Money

There are those
that treat life
like an elaborate
joke.

They lie about
anything that might
get them attention.

Fake causes
are made up
and strung along
just for the sake
of attention.

They stand behind
the most
outlandish arguments
hoping to strike
a cord with others
in order to string
them along
through the fallout
of their words.

But lies lead to more
lies that lie in the face of
lying
while throwing in
small portions
of truth in order
to manipulate the masses
with more lies.

When it comes down to it,
these people hardly believe
in the bullshit they're spreading
around. But it's like an infection;
it builds and grows out of
control.

The next thing you know,
all that is left is
misinformation
leading to other, bolder
lies with just enough
truth thrown in
for good measure
to make it seem like honesty
when it's honestly bullshit.

Entire systems are
built upon these types
of fabrications.

People are told
that
Planned Parenthood
is all about abortions
when it only accounts for
3% of their total services
by 10% of their total clientele.
There is medical screening
for STD's, contraceptives
to prevent unwanted pregnancies,
and cancer screenings.
Now this is just an example of
the type of information
that is 'modified'
by certain people
to sound worse
than it
actually is. It is also a hot button
topic so i have decided to
include it.
But the only thing we are told
about Planned Parenthood
is that they do these horrible things
to unborn babies. It's just not true.

Certain people
in the know
want to do away with
funding programs like
Planned Parenthood
because they believe
it enables the poor.
As if being poor
was a choice.

So to make their point
clear,
they use religion as a prime
target for their
bullshit campaign
rather than reflecting on
the potential reasons
behind poverty stricken
people needing abortions.
There are a fair amount of
health reasons behind
a woman's decision,
 as well as
reasons including
rape, incest, and
plain old poverty.

So let's be honest,
shall we?
