What We Leave Behind

Too often someone stretches the truth until it becomes the lie and then defends its falsehood for all to hear and believe in but some wiser ones sense the truth that lay hidden grab it by its fallacies and turn the tide to see reality, no denial, no deferment, no deflection, no delusion, no defense, only a bastille of truth to be reckoned with. Which direction do you go holding onto untruths, errors, mistakes, missteps, outright lie of the braggarts and the bullies, the loudest shouters in the room or sweep away every lie to see the steps you're taking to mold and secure the futures for our children, all children knowing historic lessons of time that what we leave behind - is us and what we believe in, truth, justice, the American Way.
