Truth Is Bitter
Truth,
an exigency of life;
a necessity for humanity
whose life
is challenged by lies.
Truth is scary
and yet bitter,
when it is told
enemies are born
anger is awakened.
Truth is a relief
to the one who tells
and yet embarrassment
to the one exposed.
When truth is stripped
then;
reality remains bare
uncovered
for everyone to see
what was kept secretely
becomes publicly
known.
Lies are sweet
and yet
pungent is truth
tangy,
vinegary;
tough to swallow.
Like a mixture of acidic liquids;
puzzling
and
buffling:
when it does its work.
Truth,
provocative
and yet veils its reality.
Truth is life
life is but truth.
