TRUTH IS THE CASUALTY

   
TRUTH IS THE CASUALTY
OF ANY DEBATE
IT’S MARRED BY WORDS
NOT MISTAKES

FOREIGN TRUTH

I VOTED FOR GOD
FOR I KNOW
HIS POLICIES.

I WILL USE
MY PRAYERS
TO REDUCE
MY SORROWS.

THE BALANCE LEFT
WILL GO TO GOD.

THE COST OF HEAVEN
WILL BALANCE MY DAY.

I HOPE THE SCALE
WILL SHOW MY WAY.

FOR WHAT IS LEFT
I WILL HAVE TO PAY.

POEATREEMAN

WHO’S POLICY IS RIGHT
TRUTH !
IT DOES NOT LEAN
LEFT NOR RIGHT
IT STANDS ON TRUTH
TO SEES WHAT’S RIGHT
IT SHOWS ITS POLICY
IN THE LIGHT.
                  

POET’S NOTE

I WANT
A POLICY OF TRUTH
THEN IT WOULD NOT
BE FOREIGN.
ACROSS THE WORLD
OR HERE AT HOME
IT IS NOT THE COST
OF MONEY
THAT IS SO HIGH
IT IS ALL THE LIES
RAISING OUR DEBTS.

A DEBT INCURRED
BY A COUNTRY
CANNOT MEASURE UP
TO THE LIES IT UNFOLDS
YOU ASK
WHERE TRUTH IS SPEND
YOUR ANSWER
IS IN THE DEBT.
WHERE LIES COST
YOU WILL PAY
THE DEBT.
