the truth

the truth
it scares us and it dares us
to find
ourselves, who once were whole
we run
in search of time forgotten
we think
we’d find what’s lost ‘n’ rotten
re-birth
we need, but now cannot heed
we march
off to long and distant war
because
see not, we white banners
once wrought
with peace, living all around
in battle
we’re caught, totally distraught
afraid
we live now for naught
blinded
by our own deceptive thought
our mail’s
coated by the wars we’ve fought
the truth
long since have we forgotten
bearing
to look inside our inner self
