Wells Of Truth

Tell me
tales of truth.

Truth is as
elusive as water
in oceans of
Arabian desert sand.

Truth may be
soaked up totally
in a desert of
whispered words.

Truth may be
washed away totally
by a torrent river of
well told lies.

Truth may be
blown away totally
in a blizzard storm of
orchestrated misinformation.

Tell me tales of truth
told throughout history!

I will listen well
intently to your stories of
culturally half sun baked
studied scholastic lies.
