Question Each Word by Sam Flot



Question Each Word

Aiming at the truth
Throwing off the covers
Pulling back the curtain
Exposing what’s behind or underneath
Making the misunderstood become understood
Showing the populace the true face
The facts behind the fiction
They presented to us as standard operating procedure and
We ate it up
Like we’d never get another meal
We ate what they put in front of us
Sold to our parents after processing
Sold after they added cheap fillers
Sold under a banner
Or a cause
Or a name to be respected

We need to aim at the truth and
Uncover the facts on our own

Because Madison Avenue is on their own side,
Not our side,
Wall St. is on their own side,
Not our side and
Pennsylvania Ave might be the worst of them all

Question the coherency
Of the facts we inherited
Question each word,
How it’s used to sell or spin
Whatever they need to sell or spin
Question each fact and interpret it yourself
Aiming at the truth and
Pulling back the curtain
Exposing the lies and misdirection
To allow your own understandings
Inside your own brain
Dismissing all the pathetic rhetoric
To be left behind
As you step out front
Asking question after question after question………
