Lying to You, Pt. 4

The world will never speak.
The world is honest.
In a vacuum, it would be science,
Or at least the raw numbers,
A giant ball of molten results,
Too hot for fingerprints,
Unshaped by statistics,

But life will lie to you
Even if you're careful.
It's full of people,
Who are prone to lying
Or scared into hiding,
Or susceptible to the placebo effect,
Or living out their lives as statistics.
