Write the Truth

Write, write, write the truth,
only the real things tell...
unless you are a fiction type,
then write whatever sells.

Write, write, write the truth,
no matter what it takes...
unless you are a media ma,
then all you do is fake.

Write, write, write the truth,
don't let people be fooled...
unless you write for Hollywood,
then just write what looks cool.

Write, write, write the truth,
no matter what they say...
unless you are a playwright--
wait, people still write plays?

Write, write, write the truth,
somehow and somewhere...
They may not want to hear it,
but it has to get out there.
