Truth

She sat at your table You laughed at her jokes She saw then, but couldn't believe It was all an orchestrated hoax You invited her to afternoon lunches But left her to find friends Her presence made a difference But not enough for the lies to end She beheld the scuttlebutt You four crowded in static whisper She was too white for your dark Drink and tattoo parlors to appear a hipster You received her flow of life Inviting your leeches to glow bright Siphoning energetic creation So you could be THE light She said nothing..just walked away Hoping you would return in time You did, with gestures of value To ensure she was still in line ...to bow TRUTH doesn't speak She stands in LOVE Scales in hand Inside Mama dove Court is in session Only WORD has the floor TRUTH was never alone Daddy God has cut the cord ...to lies Written by Trudy Schrader on 03/29/2022
