I Googled the Truth

Amazon dot com told me there were Terry Prachet books And Wikipedia told me “don’t believe the truth” There were factories built in shards of glass And cigarette burns twice as fast And then the truth is something you think that you know The organization of freedom and loving souls The truth is on line And we love the truth Knowing the truth And where is the truth And where the truth lies A grand theft auto encyclopaedia And Nibiru is gonna burn ya You’ve no choice just be there The truth is we are in a serious decline But the truth is we’ve never had a better time We’re digging away and searching for the truth But nothing, but the truth, so help me God There’s the truth about bible teaching And the truth about 9 elevenses the truth wears off In the lies we are lost The X files and Phys Ed stretching the truth About dog attacks and tragedies Meat bone and blood And who was Bin Laden Did this really happen The truth machine, the star gate and the ark Another version of the truth Nothing but the truth Defending the truth Knowing the truth Androids and Jesus And six pack abs Scientology and uncovering the facts All about nursing The truth about heaven The real truth of religion The torture of truth The ugly truth The Oasis and Eiffel Tower Needles we hear about Get stuck in the vein with another vaccine We’re falling apart in a frivolous tax The drug companies teaching us the grammar of accept shot down the barrel of a gun Comes the ultimate truth in all it’s forms So this it! the truth at last The Da Vinci code of having a blast Someone asks you “do you want the truth or would you prefer something beautiful?” there’s someone rolling around in a pit of truth Though the knives are cutting into their throat Don’t you know how the truth can hurt ? It won’t set you free by wireless and phones It won’t tell you anything you don’t already know How under the guise of a song Tell you the truth is wrong No the truth isn’t sexy It ain’t about milk It ain’t about nothing you knew nothing about It’s dieing on your lips And it’s falling at your feet It’s the sustenance you need But you just won’t eat So concerned with knowing the truth you’ve forgotten what the truth is about You’re falling into forever You are the one There isn’t any more truth more real than the sun You’re falling into forever You are the one There isn’t any more truth more real than the sun There isn’t any more truth more real than the sun

enjoyed your poem. Another truth of political brain- washing, the president's middle name( sounds like Haussene). Who is the enemy. the people, or organized leaders. I encourage u to read my revised Peace, peace.

The truth is "the sustenance we just won't eat" is a brilliant line, Colin. I think we ask for "truth" when we really wanted sugar-coated perspectives that will make us happy. You did a remarkable job exposing fallacies about "truth" in this poem and I'm delighted to see you posting again!! Hope you enjoyed the book I sent to you, but it may have been below your standards. You are a brilliant man who has always intrigued me. Love and best wishes, Carolyn
