Incompatibility with the Truth

The more some people open their mouth,

The more others wonder how

Those people made it to where they are.

Bewildered, we're all left saying, "Wow!"

 

For example: Ben Carson,

In talking about his life and youth,

Has demonstrated an incompatible

And awkward relationship with the truth.

 

Carson seems to push the envelope

To show how much the truth can be stretched.

He also has the bizarre tendency

To make statements that are very far-fetched.

 

Whether he's "enhancing" events in his life,

Discussing pyramids, prisons and gays,

Or comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany,

He never ceases to shock and amaze.

 

We tend to think a neurosurgeon

Would have to be extremely smart.

Carson has--with his outlandish statements--

Blown that stereotype all apart.

 

He has been commenting for years.

(Read about him in Wikipedia.)

According to him his negativity

Is all the fault of a nasty media.

 

Are Carson's statements thoughtless blunders

Or truly meant to distract and deceive?

In either case, he shouldn't be president,

For we'd never know what to believe.
