The Truth Shall Make You Free
*The Truth Shall Make You Free
Miracle Man

To fit a narrative many manipulate facts,
thinking what’s the harm, in a little white lie.
No more can we trust in our verbal contracts,
and unwritten accords no longer apply.
Today, a person’s word isn’t considered a bond,
and without ability to separate falsehoods from fact.
Presently, we can’t trace where a lie was spawned,
nor can we repair once the egg’s been cracked.
On cable news channels stories seem to appear,
where many are repeated, accepted as truth.
Because it’s in line with what we want to hear,
and we, like others, are seen as being uncouth.
Each undertaking, now requires an attorney,
we’re treated as sheep, penned up for slaughter.
Litigation has become a part of our journey,
we’re seen as waste, and flushed like toilet water.
*John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
