Naked Star of Truth
Do you scribe with a sword of honesty
or the feather of a sketchy lie.
Nobody wants to be taken for a flowery parade ride.
I would rather swallow a cup of fire ants
than drown in a pond of saccharine.
Truth comes easy you don't even have to try,
don't obsess about the rhyme,
just slap the tap-taps in your head
onto the willing keyboard bed.
Try not to over think or the brain ink will dry
grow cold,
let it flow from the blood of your soul
it may not be pretty
the path may be covered in grit and grime
but its a path for all truth seekers to take
they'll come by the scores to hold
the naked star of your truth
and they'll die with its glow in their hearts.
