Truth Be Told
Truth be told …we all lie
Color the “facts”
To meet our “needs”
Plant and grow
Only our “seeds”
Of truth.
We shout
“SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER”
What truth to whose power?”
Protest the protesters
In BOLD PRINT signs
Milling about
In a mob
Of “TRUTH SEEKERS”
The truth is true
but as with rainbows
the colors conflict
bleed into one another
arc from one side
to the other
seeking TRUTH’S
pot-o-gold
