But the truth of the matter
Is that patterns change....

The Truth of the matter
Amidst Lies getting fatter
Is that THIS will all shatter,
And one day we'll fall

We'll master Disaster
And crash that much faster
Our remains left scattered
In the Ruin of All...

The truth of the matter, 
and what matters I ponder
a blink away from escape
lost to a timeless lucid state
prehaps timeless upon timeless
though not to be remembered 
but I have felt and seen before
How quick do i forget?...

Girl, the truth of the matter is 
Is that we need one another 
With every hug and kiss 
We both comfort each other 
Our love is pure and true 
Together, we make our own sunshine 
We lead ourselves to the light 
And we keep everything in line...

When I write about what I can attest to,
I'm often left with only cheap thoughts,
On even cheaper paper.
But when God intervenes,
Cheap thoughts and cheaper paper
Become as fine parchment or a priceless scroll,
Always accomplishing that which He intends....

The truth of the matter
is it does not really matter
whether you are rich or poor
or rotten down deep to the core

as long as you make yourself heard
instead of just being part of a herd,
by resisting evil when you see it
with strength born out of true grit....

They may mock me, but soon they shall see
I never wanted them to simply agree.
I don't have to always be right, not necessarily.
I just want them to realize all this time I could see
The truth of the matter in this reality
And the lies they impose upon us inhumanely....

The truth of the matter is 
There was no love to be found 
It was all a facade 
You cannot lift your feet off of solid ground 
Things were said that may have sounded good 
But, those words simply have no weight 
Leaving the situation idle 
Is just simply another way to procrastinate...

The Truth of the Matter
By Kenneth Alexander

The writer within

Pen & paper at hand

Read like a spy

The truth of the matter

Sadder

Than expected

Love and hate

Hand in hand

Truth of the matter

Known and accepted

Here today

Bribes of sway

Gone tomorrow

Truth of the matter

Lies speaks louder...

What is the truth of the matter
Is it what you see in idle chatter
Or something that is written later
By someone who makes a point to flatter

A figure from history in the making
So we read about them the truth forsaking
It all for a good story line in the end
With the facts lined up ready to defend.

Every body is afraid of being themselves, losing it in between the lies and false smiles. Who do we become, who are we, just puzzles of others personalities melding into a damaged piece. So is our imaginations the place we run to, or from? The truth of the matter is that, the solace of being us is not behind a mask but out their without it....

The Human Condition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Animals, yet so much more
Being human, the laughter and love
A lot easier than one would think
The truth of the matter our callousness stinks
Is tragedy really necessary
To bring out our best
Be true and kind always, life is just a test
Caring is so easy smile, hold out your hand
This temporary condition leads us all
To a promised land...

For those of us who have lost your hair
And feel embarrassed as a mudguard up there
The truth of the matter is simple to see
Just shave it off and grow a goatee

And you will look tough and hard as nails
Where when measuring up you wouldn’t fail
So cheer up you can look cool 
By shaving it off and growing a goatee as the rule.

From a video I saw recently...

Weightless feeling, remembrance of something new
Total disregard for pain receptors, a tangled wire
A recaptured moment in time, a retaken picture
A rescind into misery, but it is okay. It’s normal
Applause for the inner vacuum, devouring entirely
A recap on events that have yet to take place
Some call it seeing into the future. “Prophecies” 
But the truth of the matter is, history repeats itself...

Is consciousness different than having a soul,
reflection unhallowed—eternity trolled

Does the magic within us begin and then end,
finite conscription—one lifetime to spend

And if unrelated, then what lies between
what we feel and we ponder—perchance then to dream

Till that final unveiling where death at last shows
the truth of the matter—that nobody knows

(Villanova University: October, 2020)...

I made a meal for you and me
but my plate was bare 
-- save the porcelain 
-- one for you
The truth of this matter 
as surely you may know
I cannot eat a meal alone
So I watch your plate 
and silver fork and know where 
this scene shall go
-- as my thought wanders
across the big Unknown.
Today I placed a vase of flowers
upon your burial stone 
-- in the rain and
mourning is the meal I eat alone.

cross it
my heart with my fist 
to a country spirit long forgotten
wrapped around the wrist
of some infidel
American scum
but the truth of the matter is 
they wanna go home
troops that come home
to shoes thrown at their face
its like a long spent nightmare
but real life is all they see
baby killer my bottom
taking orders has its flaws
they do what their told
not what they want
so dont blame ameri-troops
cuz it really isnt them...

If I was a fly on the wall
No matter how big or small
I’d know the news of the day
Before it gets buried away
I’d have the facts at hand
Before they get out of hand
I’d know just what to do
And tell the truth to all you
But the truth of the matter
Is that I’d likely be splatter
Because even the fly on the wall
Cannot be allowed to fly or crawl
And that’s where the truth is today
Squished like fly guts to our dismay...

What comes after
Nonstop tales
Ugly truth for that matter
Neverending stories that never get stale

It sucks
Unbearable to my ears
Perhaps it is luck
That I am not, to you anymore dear

Here comes regret
Being played in your game
Not knowing your shocking traits 
Long before I let my heart beat your name

I have but just one wish
You were that wonderful person I thought I knew
Not the one they said rubbish
Like the sand it strews

Within the arms of the devil
Are men who made a choice
Opting where to live their days
Thereby losing soulful voice
Their backs had turned on goodness
Their faces faced away
With allegiance to the evil one
Their lives will now decay

But, waiting as a parent does
God waits for their return
To hold them in His warm embrace
Provided that they learn
He’ll wait forever, for us all
As He loves us ever true
Though we had turned our backs to Him
He shan’t do that to you...
