Truth

What is the way it really is?
The solid state of truth?
No lies, no deception,
The one true reality
Where fact is known
Not one’s opinion
Not legendary tales
But documented knowledge
Grounded in the real
A rigid iron structure

--

So many squishy ways to look at circumstance
Just because parents passed them down to you
That doesn’t make it so
Words don’t make it so
Truth is one single crooked path
So hard to find

--

Don’t let yourself be tricked
Into denial of the truth
Don’t let yourself be hindered
In the search
So many out there want to give the answer
Without knowing the truth itself
Just to enchain the soul
In a long-lost past

So open up your eyes
Look towards the stars
Gleaming worlds so different yet the same
And know that we can’t see them all
We cannot know everything
But that shouldn’t stop us searching
For the single path of truth
Hidden in the fog

Don’t deny, hide from the lie
Stay aware in your search
