The Truth of Lies
It was away and far
Unknown and not lived
Ugly and dusty.
But, beautiful when seen
It was never looked upon
Because, it is the truth
It may cause a wound
And can be cured
Hiding is what is done
And forgotten is pretending
It pricks up every moment
But, it is ignored
Living dead is preferred
Because, lies are prescribed
Sleep well in the coffin
And never to wake up.
Thus, became the relative
Of the devil, away or within
But, the devil of lies
Offers the best
Accept the offer from
And be gone forever
Can never be recovered
Unless woken up.
Woken up from the coffin
Because, I was alive
A bit of life still wandered
It was magic, I believe
It came from within me
For, that small piece was untouched
It was that purest piece of truth
That, everything has.
Maybe unannounced now
But someday explodes off
That day gives a glimpse
Of what you are
Body is sometime a lie
Soul within is the truth
Soul is the life
And truth is living
