THE TRUTH HURTS


Loud are their voices of discontent

Voicing their hurts for all to see

Bitter and twisted with false pride

United together in their abstract misery


Blinded they are, they can no longer see

The grain of truth in their purgatory

The grain of truth they fail to see

Is their last grain of dignity


Beyond spoken words, beyond written

They cannot see how they are perceived

They can only tear away the faith of others

United together in their misery


Words of love, words of peace

Yet arrows of hate they speak

Blinded and ugly for all to see

The mantra of peace they break


Hard words are never forgotten

So their wounded prides

Continue to eat them away like cancer

The last grain of truth that duly hides


I watch them suffer in their misery

Unable to grasp their own demise

Watching and waiting for the day

They are consumed by their own lies
