What's the Deal

What's the deal,
     the backroom buzz,
      what schemes are being hatched.
And what can I know
      from my easy chair,
      that I can call a fact.
I spew and pretend
      all-knowing sense,
      it's a practiced disposition.
Still I watch - and read,
      and search for clues,
      to support my suppositions.
And while I bother,
      toil and strive,
      to reveal the hidden ruse,
The Jesters change
      the headlines,
      and dispose of all the clues.
So I sit and try
      to comprehend,
      the game in all its glory.
I tell my tales
      to put my spin,
      on this neverending story.
For truth I've found
      is personal,
      not absolute at all.
There's my take
      and as to if I'm right,
      only you can make that call.
