The Real Disclosure
"The Real Disclosure"
1st world goes 3rd world
nightmares under a blue sky
grey rocked while birds fly by
a hole
in the heart
of their world
fentanyl dreams, hunger, bullets cull
the homeless numbers,
trimming apathetic anthropy
the real disclosure revealed
a bird’s eye view
America is dying
an alien world
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
reality.
truth.

“Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is.
And you must bend to its power or live a lie.”
(Miyamoto Musashi)
“Our evolution depends on our memory.
If we keep forgetting the mistakes of the past,
only to keep repeating them, then we will never change.
Humanity will never move forward,
spiritually or morally, to become superior beings.”
(Suzy Kassem)
“Ugly truths are the biggest source of indigestion in humans.”
(Raheel Farooq)
“Truth will keep on telling the truth
Lies will lie to be more uncouth
No more rainbow after the storm
Nowhere to escape leaving the norm”
(Munia Khan)
