Walking Blindly Over the Truth
So many in today's society just think
truthfulness is whatever they want it to be
making it all suitable to their taste
just like the squirrel climbing its tree
Truth has a real mind of it's own
having a way to catch it's followers out
followers did I say? well think they are!
as they don't really know what truths about
They give no time to listen with ears open
missing the gems that sparkle and shine
real nuggets of wisdom and reality
that they could easily say its mine
This they can't say for blind rejection
such is their foolishness of closed minds
there's no end to man's depth of madness
suppressing truth so not able to find
(Quote: "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. " ~ Winston Churchill)
