He reads out reams of words
But he never looks up once
He does not look into my face at all
The camera cannot catch his eye
There is no light of truth to spy
His words like guns
Rumbling on and on
Body language gives the game away
Says far more than useless words can say
When you speak you must with eyes connect
If you do not then words fall to the ground
And lie there in the mud a useless sound
Trump of course flatters to deceive
We love you and you’re wonderful people
Comes from his mouth with ease
And the world is whatever he says it is
The American dream’s a nightmare so it is
And back in the UN the drone goes on
The serious face rebutting one by one
The evidence that all our eyes have seen
The sorrows of Ukraine upon the screen
The litmus test body language now
His mouth is speaking sounds emerge somehow
But eyes are all cast down the face is all a frown
You are telling lies telling lies and how!

+ It is an insult to tell a person lies. It dishonours the human person you are speaking to. We live by the truth we tell. The Russian envoy to the UN was telling lies and his whole body language was screaming that such is the case. I felt insulted listening to him.
