Confuse the mind

The truth to find

Attune and feel

Let the world reveal

THE TRUTH

Truth is a banana that gets lost in the custard

Truth is a turnip that lives on the dole

Truth is a strategy confounded by mustard

Truth is a porpoise bringing up a foal

Truth is a hedgehog that shaves every day

Truth is a milkman flying his kite

Truth is a mineshaft that echoes to “Hooray!”

Truth is hidden and dissolves in the light.

head is fiction  

heart is fact  

stomachs like food  

and that's enough of that  

Humour, allegory, tact, elevation

Scapegoats bring us unification

Strive together for “Happily Ever After”

Transform the rage into humour and laughter

and how the devil d'you think you can do that?

Truth & Lies

If what you are saying is true

Then Surely it is bound to get through

But if you are really telling a lie

Then your words will shrivel and die

True or false?

That statement is not true at all

Truth is always the first to fall

Big black lies keep running around

While truth is strangled, maimed and drowned.

even if I am right, I'm wrong

TRUTH? REALITY? FACT? OPINION?

Do the words I craft to express truths about reality forge, not freedom, but a cage?

The harder I strive to discern, understand, the tighter the noose of my rage

The worst, it would appear, is to lecture and preach, to boast, "I know, you do not"

Abandon definition, analysis, exposition, silence the mind to cleave Know-All's knot

Why, then, do we think, why are words important, do they help, hinder, or do what?

Words change reality, configure the will, align, disconnect, create beauty or rot

Fountains of sentences spray through my mind, products of my last decision?

Fear, jealousy, regret and desire, pressures that weave my perception?
