Notes About The Poem

"The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water". (Quote taken from Don Quixote) by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

 

Truth

Short legged lies 
walk through roads 
with many potholes,
trying no to fall down,
without closing their eyes.

Always walking slow,
hiding themselves,
scared of being released,
pretending not to exist.

Short legged lies,
don't reach further
when the road 
becomes harder.

Finally, short legged lies,
put the hoof 
into a big pothole
named: "the truth"
