Trudy Schrader Poet Rhyme

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
