waking through lower realms

the truth is inconvenient 
as also unapologetic 
but when voiced
is resisted

conflict looms
not of our making
we view as unfortunate 
the decline of righteousness 

although outcomes matter not
we stand for what is honest
nonchalantly observing
deviousness at play

it is not for us
to educate the other
but we would lessen ourself
if we cowardly look the other way
