No one can bear
With poise and grace
The truth laid bare
Before their face
So stories reign
In highest court
Defying reason
And wise retort
Myths filter light
So eyes can see
The truth too bright
For you and me
Slanted truth is better
Than blindness, after all
But when falsity’s untethered
Soon cometh the fall
