Truth takes a Holiday
by reg via rayn Monday, Apr 21 2014, 9:43am
international / poetry / post

Truth has taken some time off,
everything needs a holiday
especially Truth, which has never
seen such an escalation in
fraud, misinformation,
propaganda and outright Lies

do not misunderstand,
Truth was not overwhelmed
we know that is impossible
but Truth has taken to the skies,
the attraction of pure clean air
and rarefied heights simply
had more appeal than the stench
of fraud and lies on the
ground

Truth made it very clear
when i inquired,
it always favours locations
that cherish its value
and integrity above all else,
the Earth’s population,
it was explained to me,
has little need of Truth today,
the masses seem to prefer
transparent misinformation,
propaganda, fraud,
fantasy and outrageous lies

we are not likely to see Truth
return to earth for a while,
however, it gave me
a solemn, ironclad promise --
when the majority invoke
it repeatedly and refer to it
constantly, elevating it above
lies, fantasy and fraud,
it will return in an instant
to assume its former position
at the forefront of civilised
society
