The Truth
Why is the truth so hard to hear
When we say it's what we want
Just knowing that once it's heard
It can never be undone
We say it matters most of all
It's what we look for most
Find a reason to not believe
Think it's not worth the cost
We seek the truth from others
Demand that it come out
Then refuse to look deep within
And hide it from ourselves
The truth can sometimes set us free
It is what life's about
We must take our time and listen
And just let the truth come out
Carl Joseph Roberts

This poem written as shooting and riots rock the St. Louis area. No matter what side you are on, let the courts decide and don't riot and destroy. Hear all the facts from both sides and remember the old saying that two wrongs don't make a right. Let the truth come out, but realize you may not always like or want to hear the truth.
