Truth is Peace or it would be

Truth is Peace - or it would be.. 

Someone once told me
that truth was only
'in the eye of the beholder'

Truth is - as truth is agreed upon
society calls this then  
its truths - of course,

It depends perhaps 
can we not see our own flaws,
or more importantly our misdeeds?

Look around you - and you will find that
the truth is something 
much more than any inane obscure 
and unreliable message, 
corrupted,
by half remembered dictated 
and disfigured lies..

No, an enlightened concept, 
yet tangible in a sense 
to those aware and 
awake enough 
to see untruths, 

so very easily distinguishable 
and anyway - all around us. 

Truth is peace surely ?

First though - some observation,
seeing things - as they really are 

What must be present behind
the fog in the minds, 
of the disabled, frightened
hampered masses to wit;

one can see truth
when one can fully see the lies
that have been 
perpetrated ad infinitum
to manipulate humanity
the forsaken masses
that are coincidentally blind 

for eternity or 
revealed plausibility,
only the individual
can view what he sees 
with his own heart,
his insight, his provoking senses

his mind's eye must penetrate through
the lie of the life 
he has 
been living. 

Truth is peace, 
it must exist as opposed 
to the wretched lies. 

It could be said then,
to be only and exactly 
the opposite
to what we see around us,
that could and ought to be 

known as the sort of truth 
we can all 
aspire to, appeal for, 
If they will not listen - we may have to - you and I, 
insist upon it now. 
The stakes are just too high. 

The essence of 
and the epitome of 
the other side to what we have,

to what we know and are forced
to accept now, 
as any sort of truth. 

Don't you know a lie when you hear it
when you see it? 
you ought to. 
For all conflict is based upon it
that all generations have known. 

Our senses have been
so well and subversively 
hindered smothered

and consistently decapitated 
for reasons only 
now apparent. 

Truth is peace. 
Wars of course, are based on lies

Look, really look - that we could see 
truths previously hidden behind 
such inanimate objectivity

Remember that, 
the opposite of truth 
must be vigorously maintained 
for evil to work at all. 

Lies are crass and mortal significances, 
portrayed as all there is to know.. perhaps. 

Know the lies, see the truth
As it is 
And it is and can only really be 
- peace. 

Truth could reign over all 
that would use their eyes
to look but rather see.

Indefinitely this is truth 


Wouldn't you agree ?
