Echoes From Afar

Truth

We searched for it
Since time began ticking
Archeologist digging out the pas
Forsaking the present
Hoping to teach the future
Of what was in truth.

In truth we pray to flourish in it
To our neighbour all we ask
Is sincerity
Yet honesty in our face
Is too much to handle.
We block it out
Flattering ourselves with lies.

A portrait painted with colours
Of deception
For in our cunning falsies
Beauty is in all its glory
But the truth is hideous honesty
Of the world , of time , of you and I.
So I fall for a lie just as you do
Envision it real till it becomes a truth.
