The Truth Teller
The mirror does not flatter,
it does not lie.
It stares into your eyes
and whispers the truth
you spend years denying.
It knows the secrets
you dress in smiles,
the fears
you hide in laughter,
the love
you claim you don’t need.
The mirror is patient.
It waits.
Because it knows —
you can pretend to the world,
but never to the glass.
One day,
you’ll have to face
the reflection
you always

Sometimes I hide the truth in words that dance among shadows and lights
Sometimes I hide the truth in words that dance among shadows and lights,
I tell you that I want nothing from you, not even in exchange for these lines,
But if you look deeply, you'll see how I try to make you mine in silence,
Persistently, in ways I hope you won't notice, but always feel.
I sometimes hide

Four men in search of the truth
There were four men
searching for truth
They all knew
that sixteen hundred years before
Someone was asked
by a washing hands' man
to say what was the truth.
One of them
is on the tower of Pisa
which is still bending
since then
'cause he refused
to declare the earth is flat
to the clergy men
to the rappers of truth
Several miles away
another one

The truth hurts, doesn't it?
You moan about how we say life isn't fair
But it shouldn't have to be fair for equality to exist
Life being fair isn't being born into luxury
Its being rich in safety
An automatic right we all should have
Being rich doesn't always equal wealth
Rich is safety and the lack of doubt
Invalidation is a hobby for

Speaking The Truth
Like the nectar of a ripe peach taste,
is the outcome of a word well placed.
For truth as it begins to unfold,
is understood only if correctly told.

Ain’t It The Truth
From womb to grave the light is brief,
our days are clogged with pain and grief;
there’s little time for tears or laughter,
and if that weren’t bad enough there’s a hereafter!

What is the truth in your name
I am called Annie A Lander.
Perhaps my mother believed
This name would be fitting for me,
But my father disagreed; he felt
I should bear the name of a goddess,
Such as Sarasvati, who embodies many souls.
I share my thoughts and ideas like wildflowers,
Dispersing my

When the Truth Broke in Two
I remember the first question
I never had the courage to speak.
I feared I would not receive an answer,
and feared even more if I did.
words were born from hunger,
not from dreams.
I had no dreams,
only roads walked by others,
and I clung to the edge of their shadows,
like a child forbidden to ask
where is the mother.
Wisdom is a

The Truth Of Society
Cover your mouth and laugh it out.
The world blinks,
Clink, clink.
Every bottle comes with a label.
Every child comes with a mother.
Every person comes with an identity.
Every murderer comes with a motive.
They explain,
They birth,
They express,
And they kill.
But someday will they become the meal?
What if it was reversed?
Would they try to become more diverse?
Or become mentally

To Know The Truth
Does life to anyone really make sense?
Or is all of mankind, really this dense?
God offers his wisdom and truth to man,
Yet it still seems we seldom understand.
Are we blinded by reason, and logic?
Surely, it’s not genes or biologic?
While meditating on things I don’t know,
It came to me; the culprit is ego.
Its goal is to always

A little lie, like a thin veil covering the truth in the night of crystal
A little lie, like a thin veil covering the truth in the night of crystal,
A little candor, like a moonbeam gently piercing the darkness,
Forgetfulness does not weep, for tears have dried on the cheeks of lost memories,
Folly doesn't hurt, for it remains like a shadow silently slipping through time.
So many falls into temptation happen, like

When the Truth, Lies
It's brought to you
as if sincere,
"The News"
truth be damned!
Knowingly false,
the agenda, deception
without compunction,
to what end?
Now its up to us
to decipher,
when the "Truth" are really lies!

guarded on both flanks
