Poem: The brutal Truth
On the stage of life
Regardless of the show
The truth is the shower
That rinses the hour
Do not be fooled
By the trinket of lies
It cannot replace the truth
In its many facets
Reality has no place for lies
Because lies have short legs
In its many faces
Reality has no use for lies
Lies are easily washed away
In its character
Reality relies on the truth
To give it form and depth
To convince reality
To undress itself of the truth
Lies have to find an accomplice – deception
Deception knows how to speak portions of the truth
In a tone that is totally convincing
But because the truth has no face
Deception cannot mimic its facial expressions
This show can only be a complete farce
The truth is the fabric
That covers our daily deeds
Do not be fooled by those who sprinkle lies
On their tongues
And weave long improbable stories
Reality cannot be built
On falsehoods, lies and deceit
It takes the truth
For reality to stand
This is the brutal truth
On the stage of life
The truth reigns
