Disinformation

Aphorisms can be useful tools

When put to use to fix

the broken places .

But when worn in a belt

Around the wasted space

They merely hold us down.

“Look at the glass half-empty

But see it half -full“

Does not change its contents.

A glass filled with lies

Is still poison

To the soul.

Before raising the glass

In toast to the past,

first fill it with truth.
