Truth travels bare feet
People disguise it with lies
Yes, for tricks and treats
Basking in glory
How far before it's unmasked?
Verity prevails
Too little too late
Life and it's ways of teaching
Cognizant of heart
Truth is one constant in life that never changes. Truth is simple. People complicate it by dressing it up in a variety of layers of lies. But how far can truth travel in the heat of the burden before it starts shedding it's layers to be bare and naked again. Then, the heat of the wrath caused is much more than ever. Strange are the ways of life sometimes. When you wrong, everything goes right... and finally when you decide and do the right thing, everything tumbles down! It's a hard life with truth by your side.. but don't let go.
