Facing Truth To Embrace



Truth!
Embracing to face it.
Will forever be a challenge,
Erasing decades and centuries...
Of history implemented to fiction,
A reality cemented in minds to defend.

Truth!
Is in the beliefs taught to teach them.
And without truth nowhere to share it,
Influence expected to convince...
A delusional outlook of life to live,
Becomes even more protected.
By those refusing,
What they've been fed to feed...
Is an hypnotic addiction of deception to crave.

More.
Embracing to face,
The tasting to crave impressions to make.
More.
Become never satisfied,
Of what they have chosen...
From a menu served to them on plates.
More are heard protesting,
A deserving of more to display excess.
Not to need but have to address an ego.
Flaunted.
With a taking of breath away.
Without a word heard to say.

Then to continue expecting others to agree,
What makes them better than many...
Who are ethnically the majority.
Yet made to believe,
Only those with the ability to deceive skillfully.
Are the ones observed to justify,
Their innocence and untouchable status!
With a doing to enforce,
Themselves to be worshipped and praised.

Truth!
Embracing to face the effectiveness of it.
Will forever be a challenge.
Misunderstood and not to comprehend.
By archeologists, rocket scientists...
And experts in the field,
Of psychology, biology, space exploration.
Or sociology.
Since whatever begins,
To be man-made and celebrated.
Ends the same way it started.
With a destroying of proof and evidence,
That a value to greed embedded mentally...
Has nothing or anything to do with humanity!

That truth...
To witness and observe it.
Is useless to research it uncovered to discover,
Ignored to explore and prioritized more...
The benefits of division, bigotry and racism.
Valued as precious,
As humanity is put to death.

To leave...
No one left to grieve in sorrow or feel anguish.

Although...
Power to grab it and it to have,
In the hands of fools.
Demonstrating a ruling to control over what?
To charade a masquerading,
Of a doing to prove done what accomplished?
Besides a declaration of a self anointed,
Righteousness!
While creating more enemies to salivate.
Until the killing of the taste,
Becomes miraculously replaced...
By something less evil to recognize and face!
