Without Truth

People want to hear, what they, want to hear,

and assume what they, want to see.

Doesn't really matter, what's the truth,

as long as, the truth, is where, it should be.

 

Knowing in their heart, the actual fact,

rejecting the truth, they then deny.

So they can live, the false life, they wish, to live,

even thou, all of it, is based on a lie.

 

All of sudden, they're acting surprised,

when the truth, is revealed, and starts, to set in.

What is imagined, soon comes apart, making 

them notice, without truth, no one, can ever win.
