The Truth

You know what the truth is? He asked.
Which one? I replied.
The sad one, he qualified.
We lost it.
It’s gone.
Before we lost it, it was universal,
And everyone knew what it was.
We spoke it and we lived it.
Few are left that can sing it,
And soon they will be gone.
It has been left by the old men that found it
Only to be given to the young men that will lose it.
We think it trite.
We think it childish.
We think this because we are told to.
You know what the truth is? He asked.
The truth is ignored,
And so ignorance reigns supreme.

Mood: despotic
Now playing:
July! July! by The Decemberists
