How long can you stand on a tower of lies?
How long can you endure on a tower built with lies for posts and boasts for beams ?
How long before you see the folly in reinforcing one lie with another?
How long before the foundations come apart and fail?
How long before truth comes as gravity to pull this tower down?
How long can we tolerate you standing brazenly atop your tower of lies?
How long until the inevitable collapse comes?
How long until we begin to tally the casualties from the fall?
How long before we begin to build a straighter and stronger tower?
How long can you stand on this tower of lies?
*********************
This is a new small painting that I hope to expand into a limited series based on what I call towers of folly. We’ll see how that progresses…
