most of the liars

don't know they are

which makes them so dangerous

they speak so truthfully

from the misunderstanding they worship


knowing is not the same as believing

and knowing is just keeping up with truth

which never stands still

and can never be grasped

and certainly not bought or sold


truth is forever free

and can never be controlled

which is why truth is so unpopular in our time

as the word is so abused in our time

and so many others


so many claim to know the truth

and will sell it for our souls or our dollars

usually both and a lot more


a great lie is upon the land

and so few speak for life

which is forever a gift


a true gift is not that which can be earned

which is only slavery


earning is what the liars sell their slaves

some call it salvation

some call it making a living

i call it cruelty

and a crime against life

and life is sacred

no matter what the form
