Truth Why Worry About Humans

truth why worry about humans!
beings who are a bundle of falsehood
nothing in humans is truth
everything you see are pretensions
they are mere signposts of what is truth

smiles on the face good but something is hidden
eyes are bright but they are a cover up
body is good looking but beneath is nonentity
speech is wonderful but could be the opposite

someone looks holy but reality could lamentable
vows are made at altar, three day it is null
perfumed poured on body to abuse truth

truth why, worry about humans!
the world controlled by humans
the things that come from the hearts, mouth
are versions of  truth- not truth

truth, you want humans to wear you as gown
that cumbersome dress is a thorn in the flesh
