Truth

 

When you tell it out, tell it slant

As it always hurt, and to always say it you must have learnt

Why it is good to dwell in honesty

 

It sets you free from the chains of lies

That you were fed up with as they made your heart turn blue like the skies

For the face of truth awakens us

 

To make a man say the truth, you don't have to set for him a snare

But simply give him a mask to wear

As the face of truth is covered with a brilliant golden orb

 

You can bend it or twist it

But to change the truth is something you can't try even a bit

Because its eye feeds us and it puts the devil to shame
