Oftentimes the voice of truth is silence
through the clamour and hussle
for power and glory
a stillness arises
unremarked by the masses
struggling to survive
but the truth is not a luxury
it will be known in time
if no one listens it will bite
if the bite is ignored
infection occurs
amputation ensues
by doctor or guilotine
poison is removed
or death takes all
winners losers
the evil and the righteous
truth is ultimate authority
a gram weighs a gram
a mile is a mile
one plus one equals two
no matter how many
television sets say three
