By Joseph Childress ****** expressions Are greater than words But I Want the liquid truth! Lips don't only talk They also kiss Tears can be more deceptive Than tongues And yours is persuasive The ability to sway Opinions From your salt water Body of lies Can form dead seas And these scrolls Wouldn't be here Without this excess of ink Shedding blood Shows only a lack of control And care Shedding my own Would only show My lack of understanding The thirst I have Is for liquid truth The friction we cause When we tell it Is more than enough fire To make it pure

The Thirst
By Joseph Childress ****** expressions Are greater than words But I Want the liquid truth! Lips don't only talk They also kiss Tears can be more deceptive Than tongues And yours is persuasive The ability to sway Opinions From your salt water Body of lies Can form dead seas And these scrolls Wouldn't be here Without this excess of ink Shedding blood Shows only a lack of control And care Shedding my own Would only show My lack of understanding The thirst I have Is for liquid truth The friction we cause When we tell it Is more than enough fire To make it pure
