Clarity of Time

If truth were nothing but a blur

Would the rumors fly on broken wings

Facts served out of can size meals

Lies leaving dents in side cars driven

By mystified stories of blusterous beings

Would history make any money

Selling its news to TV anchors

Who only twist the hands of fate

How would it come about

Where would it end if it had no beginning

What would the middle man's beat be

How would it be foretold if it had no before

So it may seem as a blur

As truth only starts out as a hazy remark

Untwist the hands of time

As history unfolds iself

Leaving manuscripts of unanswered questions

Questionable doubt lynches itself

Through remarkable words

With expeditive tension

Trapped beneath the big hand of epic proportions

Open your eyes to clarify opinionated intelligence

Impressions left in the sands of time

This is a result to a haiku I stumbled upon:

Human eyes are so

Obsessed with clarity. What

if truth is a blur?
