OH THAT!

What is the truth? Oh that! Well I don’t know,
For it is lost in the perpetual lies we tell,
Pretending that our friends won’t let us down,
That when we feel obnoxious we feel well.
Corruption rules the world yet we respond;
For a better life we win if we service greed,
Tolerating people whom we know do not belong,
Pretending that we are the righteous seed.
Behind our false fronts we stand in all our pride,
Strutting our way through life brandishing guns.
Yet we are mostly hollow boulders deep inside,
Clinging to every teardrop that from us runs…
Lest by the truth we cause the great divide,
And discover our God cares not for those who died.
