Where Would We Be?
JUSTIFYING OUR ACTIONS,
HOW IS IT VIEWED?
AS A PUBLIC RECANTATION OF INNOCENCE,
OR AN EXONERATION OF GUILT?
ITS A MIXTURE OF INCIPIENT LIES,
ONE BIRTHING ANOTHER WITH CAUTION,
TRYING TO POSTULATE THE TRUTH.
ENVISION THE CLEVER DECEPTION,
THE MASKED CHARADE OF SAFE HARBOR,
AND THE PERPLEX IRONY OF IT ALL.
THE FEAR THAT LEADS TO TRUTH IS GUILT,
THE POWER OF GUILT IS IN YOUR MIND,
AND CONSCIENCE IS OUR ADVOCATE.
CONCEPTUALIZE THE WORLD
DEVOUT TO HONEST INTENTIONS,
AND PEACEFUL RECONCILIATION.
WHERE WOULD WE BE?
