That’s RIGHT The Truth HURTS... !!!
When It’s Served To JERKS Through Words And Verse....
That DON’T Observe LYING And Taking WRONG TURNS... !!!!!
That Preserve FALSEHOODS That SHOULD BE......... Removed........ !!!!!!
The Truth HURTS In Ways Because It’s... STRAIGHT... !!!
UNLIKE The Ways Now DEFINED Today As Being... OKAY.... !!!
Like Sexual Displays That INDULGE In ASS PLAY...
And Of Course Today’s SWAY Towards Accepting Gays ..
Whose Actions NOT So Long Ago.... !!!
Were Seen As UNCLEAN Being NASTY And Low... !?!
A Truth That YES HURTS And DISTURBS Herds...
Whose Truth Makes Moves Like... Media News...
One Day It’s... THIS And The Next It’s... THAT... ?!?
And Then They Make CLAIMS That Their Stories Are FACT... !!?!!
A Truth Now Found To Cause Losses of Pounds And Dollars TOO...
When These LIARS Confuse Due To Views They USE...
To Have People CONSUME HOT AIR They’ve PREPARED That FILLS Balloons.... !!!!
And Cladding For Towers Where The TRUTH Became HOURS...
of FIRE And POWER That EXPOSED These COWARDS... !!!!!
................... For What They Did ..............
DENY A Truth That KILLED Elders And Kids... !!!
A Truth That Now Sits In Those Who Now LIVE...
But Have NIGHTMARES That Do MORE Than SCARE... !!!!!!
When They TRUTHFULLY AIR On... TV Shows..... !!!!!
Where Hosts Quiz THOSE Who Dealt DESPAIR... !!!...
Because of How Low Their Dealings GO.... !!!!!!!
TRUTH To These Folks Seems To Be... UNKNOWN... !?!
I Wish That I Could Say That It.... " JUST AIN’T SO "... !!!
But That’s A TRUTH That GLOWS Like Homes Now SHOWN...
To Have Been DESTROYED Because of... “ Ploys “...
Where LIES Were DEPLOYED Like... Peace Envoys...
Whose Truth Makes NEWS When They’re Found To ABUSE...
...... People They Were SENT To Give HELP To ...... ?!?
DON’T Play The FOOL... THIS IS A TRUTH...
That HURTS Like Views From Racist Crews... !!!
Whose HURTFUL Ways STILL EXIST TODAY... !!!
NO MATTER What The Liberals TRY TO Say..... !!!
From Brexit' To Trump The TRUTH Now STUNS...
Those Running Gums About UNITY And EQUALITY... !?!
Because Their Truth Is Based On DENIAL...
of Things Profiled And Historically Filed...
Those In Politics USE LIES And TRICKS When They Part Their Lips... !!!
Sexually Or Otherwise They Deal In ABUSE And A Number of LIES.... !!!
And Then Get To Be On... " PRIMETIME TV "...
To Talk About WHY People Have DIED... ?!!!?
Well It Seems To Me...
That It’s Down To DIRTY DEEDS Making Money And GREED... !!!
NO MATTER What The Cost To Their OWN Communities... ?!?!?
Come On Now Peeps’ It Can’t Just BE ME Who Now CLEARLY SEES...
That The TRUTH Is Something That Humanity NEEDS... !!!!!
NO MATTER What Race, Colour Or Creed... !!!!!!!!!
It May Well HURT But Also SERVES In CALMING Nerves...
And IGNORANCE THAT Is NOW SEEN Cos' of LIES That FEED...
Things That Now Make People BLEED...
And Have Folks Living In POVERTY... !!!!!!!!
While These LIARS Now PREACH...
About TRUTH And TRANSPARENCY... !!!!!
Kinda Like These Black Peeps’ Who Act Like Sheep ..
And SEEMINGLY Don’t Like TO SEE...
DARKNESS Be Where The White Folks Be.... !!!!!!
You See Colonial Themes And SLAVERY...
Are Truths That BURN When Black Worms TURN...
Because They WON’T UNLEARN What They Have LEARNED... !!!!!
A Truth On Which I’ll End This With...
Because IGNORANCE Reigns Like LIES Today... !!!!!
Just Take A Quick Look At... Political Games... !!!!!!!!!
Well All I’ll Say Is That Being FAKE Is NOT THE WAY... !!!!!
And That LIES Do WORSE Than... Honest Verse.... !!!!
THINK About THAT When You READ These Words...

That Simply SHOW How … YES...
