I tell the truth
I wish that were
enough to make
people believe
even with all my
evidence
people would rather
be deceived
by someone who
is more persuasive
someone who can
make them feel
when I can only
make them know
when I have only
what is real
as if we cared
about the truth
as if that were
what matters
when I know
people are animals
I shouldn't have
expected better
I just need to learn
to play their game
to dance their little dance
and talk their way
and maybe they
will give the truth
another chance
