The Naked Truth
You have spent a decade and a half in a foreign land looking for something that you couldn’t understand; you have worn the vest and the gown and use the weak to spread rumours in the street.
And when the day is done you walk around the town looking for someone to give you a dead crown, and the elephant in the room knows the in’s and out is laughing at you and kissing the dirty shoe.
Look around the bend and listen to your old friend the man in the suit is dating the woman that has a hundred pair of shoe, he got married five times and his pregnant wife is living a double life.
He has a town house and country house and a flat in a far away land for entertainment and sordid pleasure.
His children are unique and you will never find them in the street, they have studied at the highest level and they know the family business from top to bottom and how to please the disgruntled customers.
He is known as the man that marries five times with a label and a bottle of wine.
Do you want to know the naked truth? just observe the youth, look how they flex and listen to their speech when they are roaming the street.
Look at the strange walk and how they move after dark they are telling you something when they move in the strange rhythm.
And when they buy the box food just observe their mood, look how they eat and how they fling the bone in the street, you have got to know the truth and don’t be deceived
Look around and tell me what you see ,the sun is radiating a strange type of energy, the heat is burning the sole of her feet, and musical train on the line is speeding at a hundred and seventy miles per hour penetrating the dead man’s sorrow.
It is the naked truth that gave birth to time and the mystery that is carved inside is divine and will lead you to your heart’s desire. The naked truth is wrapped up in your youth search deep inside for it and you will find it.
