There Comes a Time

Now be realistic I say to myself                                                                                                           THere are no truths that are worth telling                                                                                        Of course there are certain things about life that one should know                                                      But that  kind of knowledge is like manifest destiny                                                                          Which becomes a truth through experience                                                                                  There comes  a time to everything when the illusion of what is is exexposed                                 And truth tellers liars lovers and even truth tellers                                                                            No longer exist                                                                                                                                      If you think back now you may see it                                                                                                      The man in the moon above the hedgerow boundary of dinner at five                                           Was your mother all along
