From Truth



From truth...
The reality of it is missing.
From truth...
Has been severed.
With this to defend and protect,
Delusions to accept.
And a quality of life pushed next to take steps,
Towards a non-existence.
Many hope and expect,
A destruction is best to correct...
All progress moving forward,
Should be replaced until the rise of conflicts...
The truth they can not bear to face.

From truth...
What would be left to believe?
That a success to achieve,
Takes destroying a future.
To leave behind an entire civilization.
Exterminated.
Done to do to prove humanity is removed.
And who would then survive to rule?
From a truth to fiction it.
As fools choose to remain and perceive,
Themselves to be gods.
On an Earth in this massive Universe.
Not noticed as a speck of dust.
Blown away by the ones entitled,
Deceived to believe...
They are creators and descendents,
Of Almighty God...
Yet not to see God reflected in everyone.

And...
From truth they run.
But to where to overcome,
The teachings done...
To their unconscious minds to find a cure.
For an ignorance to endure this self infliction.

From truth they run.
But to where to overcome,
This addiction.
That has left them self inflicting,
Their own destruction!

    You live in an alien world.
    Jesus said ' i am the truth and the way, no man comes to me unless he denies himself and fakes up my cross !
    Action speaks louder than words !
    Salvation is personal
    Have you got it ?
