Truth is often a double edged sword
Words slicing & dicing hearts to the core
We use it so selectively
We covet it protectively
The results can be both positive & negative
For most Reality is a matter of perspective
Evolution brings change
While old truths remain
hurled in spite
to only bring pain
Indiscriminate voice
or weapon of choice
leaving blood on our hands
sticky & moist
Sometimes it is better to be kind than right
Wisdom rarely controls the fight
When to fight
When to forgive
Dilemmas to face
as long as we live
Motive determines selection
Reaction determines protection
Sometimes a thougtful pass
beats throwing stones
We all have plates of glass in our homes
Shattered glass is a dangerous thing
Truth is cherished freedom
Not a weapon to sling
