In court.
We have witnessed many truths.
Supported by many with many lies.
They take the oath and fantasize.
Without knowing they end up serving time.

The baliff lift the bible and speak this oath.
Do your promise to tell the truth?
And nothing but the truth.
And within moments you realize many have no prove.

The attorneys goes back and forth.
Sometimes brutal.
Sometimes forceful.
But, looking past them.
You mainly begin to see with your eyes.
Many so call witnesses major in the subjects of fake alibis.

But didn't take all raise their hands.
And suddenly forgot.
What was asked of them?

It was.
Do you promise to tell the truth?
Not what you think it means to me or you.
Why look like a fool?
When it's over.
When others soon come forward.
