Truth of Life

 

You can spin in circles,
chase shadows in the wind,
push against the tide,
or run and hide...
darkness won't rescind.

Dig a shelter,
hoard magic beans,
dissect each word,
still not knowing what it means.

Pray to God or bow to man,
start a coup or get stoned.
Pay your taxes, curse your boss...
still stuck, still growing moss.

Every road leads somewhere,
each path comes with a cost.
Too many lights may blind you...
find your own way,
or stay lost.

Truths we WANT to hear!

 

How refreshing would it be
if a politician just said:

I don’t believe in God,
or in protecting your health or safety.
I’ll place my friends in power,
pocket what I can,
and spend the rest on my re-election.

Your voice won’t matter,
it never really did.
You’ll accept my judgement,
because you’ll have no choice.

If I fool you,
you’ve only yourselves to blame.
I’m as crooked as they come,
and any war I start
will serve my own gain.

Yet, despite it all,
I’ll try to keep you happy.
