WHATEVER HAPPENED TO TRUTH?

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO TRUTH TODAY?

WHERE DID IT GO, WHERE DOES IT STAY?

IT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE,

IT SEEMS TO HAVE RUN AWAY!!!!

WHY DO WE TRY TO DECEIVE?

WHY DO WE NOT JUST TELL THE TRUTH

AND LET IT BE RECEIVED

IN ANY MANNER THAT THEY CHOOSE?

IS IT LOST FOREVER, I DO WONDER?

HAS IT HIDDEN IN THE MIST?

IT GIVES ME MUCH ON WHICH TO PONDER,

I SHALL ADD IT TO MY LIST

OF THINGS THAT ARE MISSING FROM

OUR LIVES, THINGS THAT SHOULD BE

THERE..WITHOUT A THOUGHT OF HOW IT

THRIVES, OR WHETHER ANYONE CARES.

TRUTH, OH TRUTH, WHERE HAST THOU GONE?

YOU DO NOT FALL FROM THE MINDS

OF MOST OF US, WE ARE BUT PAWNS

OF THE POLITICALLY CORRECT, IN KIND.

WHY MUST WE LIE, AND CHEAT AND DECEIVE?

CAN YOU TELL ME, PLEASE, KIND SIR?

IT WOULD BE SUCH A WONDERFUL RELIEF

TO HEAR THE TRUTH, THE CURE

FOR WHAT IS AILING MOST OF US,

IT IS A LACK OF WILL

TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT, AND SAY WHAT'S RIGHT.

FOR WE ARE ALWAYS STILL

WORRIED ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK

ABOUT HOW WE LOOK, AND WHAT WE SAY.

DON'T YOU THINK IT IS TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH

TO EACH OTHER, STARTING TODAY?
