Truth is like medicine
Hard to swallow
So many of us
Spend our lives
Putting out fires
Truth is like medicine
When it’s real
It’s wholesome
When it’s false
It’s poison
And so many people
Want to convince
Us that the real is false
And the false is real
In the last century
They made an industry
Out of selling lies
Prettily packaged
In our own desires
And insecurity
We sold our souls
And now they offer
to give them back
In return for clicks…
Empty lists
And positivity
Truth is like medicine
There’s not much good stuff around
You have to dig deep
And then what you find
Is that it’s either your own
Or it’s not that good for you
Make your own medicine my friend.
Or You may end up
Choking on
The truth.
