Truth Shall Let Out

Truth shall let out


When I gave the world my heart
A lesson leant
Love is nothing but lust,
Tow plus two are ten
Sky is nought but down,
My eyes open to the world
All I said is truth;
Now I have grown old
I see meta you,
But my soul is on errand

To give the world the lie,
He is immortal,
If one raise hand upon him, he's like
Water that is without a scar;
He would give entire lie

Since I need must die,
The truth shall let out,
SOUL, go give the lie,
Flesh is nought but dust;
Adventure in life is market

Tell church of the ONE
That sees all,
Tell mosque they both are one
And remind them of the hell,
The good own the zion

Tell security forces of protection,
They are the people's lung,
Bribery is an abomination;
Corruption lead to degradation
If they reply with lie
Give them the lie

Tell politicians to protect their
Name by finding a way to do with their
Kleptomania fingers,
Their country must rise
If they could reply
You must give the lie

Tell court of injustice, fact
Is their warrant,
They are the people's hut,
They should not let them hurt

Tell the world love exist,
They are neglecting obvious truth
Tell broken heart
To find one else heart
To heal one owns heart
If they reply with lie
You must give entire lie

Tell hatred he's a false,
Once he cannot confront the truth,
To let the world see his ugly face
Oh! A huge pity, in his presence the truth
Shall rise

Tell vultures of their lost,
Their time will soon lost
In elusive word of prospect

Tell writers their pen is but sword,
The magic in their hand,
Helping the world in hand;
A sword without blood

Tell poets they are but mirror
Tell poetry she is but ideal of the mirror,
They both make the world a bright,
They both are great
If they could reply
You must give them the lie

Once you have fulfilled my want,
You can then have a rest,
For the scar you have left
Is interminable in their heart.

Some very valid points in your poem Afolabi. Many of my poems are very much longer than this one, and I don't have a problem with reading long poems - thank you Afolabi - Lindsay
