Trading Truth

Buy the Truth and sell it not,
not the truth that lurks in lies,
lies that lingers when they are gone, 
gone to the depth of of dust & dross,
dross dignified & decked with decency, 
decency decorated with decietful deeds,
deeds done on the devilish decisions,
decisions dominated by passion & pride,
pride that goes before a fierce fall;
fall of a false flower like a flame,
flame from fires that seem friendly,
friendly from afar but not fair indeed,
indeed we need a creed that's courteous,
courteous, cool, colourful & crystal clear,
clear your conscience and keep it clean.
