truth & other lies

blankly stood truth,

sitting on its elephant

and roaring through the night,

howling the midnight

and

roaming the hour of the wolf.

truth is death

truth is dead.

truth is the lie that wakes you up

every damn morning

to go to work, to get back home

tired, go to sleep and wake up

every damn morning

to go to work, to get...

truth is the motto of all the

politicians

and the

police officers

and the

priests

and the

human species

truth is nothing but

the tear amid the rain

and the faces in

the crowd watching

the spectacle going on

and on

and on

and on

and it never stops

and it just keeps going

and it keeps dancing

until the curtains fall

until the curtains fall,

truth will be reduced

to sleeping giants

crying for love 

like panthers in the wild

truth will be turned

into chalk,

a big fat greenish

poisoned frog,

a sidewalk infested

with people,

as if already 

wasn't

arise

work

and 

sleep

until the curtains fall
