THE LIP SERVICE INDUSTRY

THE LIP SERVICE INDUSTRY

I've probably become DE-sensitized to everyday lies,

but accept there existence and place in my world,

and that's the truth.

When politicians say they want to make a difference

I don't believe them.

When schools have slogans proclaiming they want to empower their students

I don't believe them

When companies state customer service is their priority,

I don't believe them

When employers state their interested in the personnel development of their employees

I don’t believe them

When tabloids write riotous columns proclaiming right and wrong

I don’t believe them

There seems to be a very thin line between diplomacy,

and honest truth.

Real truth.

The line has been eroded,

along with truth and diplomacy,

and replaced with,

lip service,

and tick boxes.

But it's ok,

I understand,

I accept that's the way it is.

I just don't believe the hype.
