The Truth

My voice quivers as I speak, The deep thoughts about what I stand for. Thinking about how I can save or destroy a neighbour . I am dumb like a sheep sent to the slaughter house . I stand in the middle of the road motionless. The truth, the truth. What can be the truth ? Tears flows speedily from my eyes. I am bold now to stand tall. I shall speak the truth. Many enjoy their dark moments. The rich ride on the poor. The rich envy the truth . Victory now rest in the home of the poor. The truth shall always be alive.

You can't hide a man on a horse and you cant keep the truth concealed forever. Like you say,Der, "the truth shall always be alive"

And the truth shall set you free. The truth keeps our conscience free and enjoys the light of day! Welcome to PS!!

Enjoyed reading your work..For sure, money is funneled in from the poor into the hands of rich..My mother said that money was made round to roll..Sometimes truth hurts but everyone needs to learn from the truth and change..Thanks for reading my work..Sara
