People Have Their Own Versions Of Truth

it is anger
that justifies their
expulsion of the truth

there is only one truth
i suppose

but in the court
truth becomes a sixteen-headed
monster
and each head keeps on saying
i am the one

one by one
reasons slew each head
until the single truth
comes out
alive

on a tongue of fire
it burns us all
