If I write a short line
followed by a still, shorter line
I lie
wilfully distorting the truth
religion appeals to our honesty
if I choose otherwise, who is
to say I am spreading falsehood
even the Pope couldn't care less
an unacknowledged legislator lies
"So What" blows old Selim Sivad
horn player to the gods
only now nobody listens to him
recently exhumed from the grave
to play for us one final note
listen for the gods hear utterances
in languages and speech
no one bothers to learn
even native speakers are mute
