42/M Just a simple man with complex reasoning.
I've lived my life in search of the truth Now I know I've searched in vain From all I gathered is no truth But just the truest lies avail WHO is here, to tell the truth? Is he the one being fed lies Or those that carve some lies as truth Maybe loyalty is the color of truth If the truth is genuinely our freedom Why are we still trapped in walls I guess the truth is history Or just some historical lies I searched afresh in the house of God The only place the truth should abound Only to find that what they preach Are the truest lies avail In my recent search for the truth I searched relentlessly without It's not without but just within The truth is what I say is Trust and faith are the elements of truth The claim that loyalists validate The only ones that know the truth Are those that see the truth within

Truth or Lies
Looking above, I saw myself beneath, Looking beyond, I saw myself within, Then it dawned on me I am not to be to be I have to be empty to be filled. Looking within, I found myself without Looking for you, I found myself Then I realized the knowledge of self is the key I've been buried in pride Having fun with filth Cleaning their speckled eyes Yet I'm blind beyond How can I give in lack Now emptied to be filled Now following to lead Now sinking but to rise above self The knowledge of self is the key.
