truth

truth

I'm the man and the woman

that makes america cry,

sent to Baghdad to starve

but was too full to die. 

I'm easy to come by but I come with a price.

I may sound general but I'm always precise.

I'm as visible as light but they never let me shine.

If you weren't watching TV then your world would be mine.

I'm the rise and the downfall of the human race.

So few can see me though I stand in their face.

I'm the mother and father that you never knew.

I ate all the pieces, I still never grew.

I lose to deniers though I have more might.

I may not be happy but you know that I'm right.

You can try to have-at,

grab your shotguns and chase,   

but I am the truth and I'm who you'll face.

I may be out of fuel but I'm always self-driven.

I've never sinned but I'll never be forgiven.

I'm always the loudest but the one you never hear,

hurt you from Afghanistan, lethal when I'm near.

I may be cryptic but I still never lie.

I'm the law of physics that you can defy.

Nobody takes me seriously, they all just ignore,

the media is the pimp and YOU are his whore.

I was always living but I was never born.

When you mess with this bull, you die on the horn.

You can skip over the flowers but I'll get you thorned.

You can file a complaint but this court is adjourned.

I lose to deniers although I have more might.

I may not be happy but you know that I'm right

You can try to have-at,

grab your pitchforks and chase,  

But I am the truth and I'm

who you'll face.

Life is an eternal sleep from which you never awaken,

I can't walk away even though I'm forsaken.

I'm in your truck and I'm in your bar.

When you wobble out the door, I won't be so far.

You can yell out at me and get out your gun,

but I know I'm immortal so you know I won't run

My enemies always get what they deserve,

but I'll salute them for having the nerve.

I'm just the same Coca-cola in any part of the globe

you shake me repeatedly but I still explode!

You know what to do.

Ignorance is so blissful till it spills out on you,

Till it bursts out with anger and stains your whole life,

Kills your sons and your daughters and sleeps with your wife.

You call me the devil when god is my fan.

I can't win an argument with a stubborn man.

Don't bother with congress, they made a ban.

If you feel uncomfortable listening, then go join the clan.

Cause I'm your cameflouge soldier

in the Jihad on lies.

Sent to palestine to rot

but I flew through Dubai.

I lose to deniers though I have more might.

but arm me with honesty,

you'll die in that fight.

You can try to have-at,

propaganda and waste.  

But I am the truth

who you still haven't faced.
