On lies, truth’s erased.
News outlets, you’ve failed us. J’accuse.

At a flag-waving bash.
Others catch forty winks on the sly.
July 2014 Update: My original “line five” back when wrote this in 2010 was:
“A brief respite from life gone awry.”
But I’ve decided that it’s too depressing, so I changed it to:
“Some even pretend that they’re high.”
But a few hours later I changed it yet again to:
“Others catch forty winks on the sly.”
