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. Drencho POET Loads.
