Instigation
time to rise up
we are not rusted
we need no one but one another
we are match-thin like the truth

Speaking truth to power
who follows the lies
expressed on all occasions now
the art of lying is over
guns hear nothing
whether in earnest or not
Dissident
this fast city made of lead
is not the only answer
the truth is dangerous
having so many windows
if I escape I will be a thief
and sleep brokenly in the morning
Shit talker
how is a foul mouth to be remedied
fit for every war and after-
dinner blow-up
out with his absent truth
and his white fish-belly
big as a blemish on the night
Ministry of Truth
a fire looking
in all the books
re-writing the endings to make
an end of writing
how to order myself
for the year to come
What truth was
a great rant I give
in defense of what was truth
an ingenuous sort of entertainment
without much cost
Hunting ground
I go out hunting
from an urge to see
though never to lie in a field
in idleness is almost
to miss the truth of the place
in the guise of quiet
Life, a lie
How much truth in words?
How much fully said
How much wanted to say
How much conveyed
How much understood
How much you want to know?
When truth itself is so limited –
Its all a lie-
LOVE, LIFE, LIE…
Do I Love Him?
I don't know
I say I do
But is it the truth?
I really don't know.....
I tell myself I am telling the truth
But then my consience says I'm lying
Do I love him?
Or is it fake?
Will you tell me?
I need help.....
Pants On Fire
one day people will step back to look at me
and realize that everything they
thought they knew
were handcrafted lies
With A Grain Of Salt
i fell for it,
hook line and sinker,
because how can you ignore a lie
when it's exactly what you needed to hear?
Illusion
People only show you what you want to see.
So I went ahead and showed all of me.
