b124 (6.22-3.2025): an ode to mr. bluff

an ode to mr. bluff
by blu f. fed 
 
once upon a time (just when you thought you’d had enough)
someone wanted lies, and shouted 

"please call mr. bluff!"

the crowd sang:

 

"please dear mr. bluff just whisper something in my ear

don’t make it the truth, just tell me what i want to hear

 

tell me i’m a beauty... and that i have a brain

tell that that god loves me; tell me that i’m not insane

tell me that my t.v. news reporters got it right

tell me 'we’re the best' so i can sleep so well tonight

tell me not to question, tell me not to cry

tell me to believe you when you look me in the eye"

------------------------------------- 

mr. bluff was quick to put the good word on display
but just under his voice was something no one heard him say:
 

"don’t ever look behind the curtain, you don’t want to see

that mr. bluff is really just the stuff of you & me"
