Pick a Truth
there is my truth
there is your truth
there is six billion other people’s truth
there is jewish truth
there is jesus’s truth
there is shiva’s truth
there is krishna’s truth
there is kali’s truth
there is the buddha’s truth
there is mohammad’s truth
i think i will get a spade
and bury my head in a hole truth
there is our masters
who know best truth
and slaves and sheep
who follow them truth
don’t forget the poor workers truth
and rich man laughing all the way to the bank truth
there is the fat man’s truth
and the starving celebrity truth
there is liberal trurh
and conservative truth
there is left truth
and right truth
forwards truth
backwards truth
sideways truth
there truth that are lies
and lies that are truth
there is the love of your true love eyes
and guilt when your children cry
there is getting high truth
and life’s a ***** truth
there is one inescapable truth
from the bum dressed in pavement black
to the desperate wife trying to get her horny youth back
and the careful man who weighs out his piles of cash
we will all be put into boxes of cinders and ash
or fillet steak for feasting worms
so live each day the best you can
and do something to help your fellow man
