Two Truths and A Lie



Irony is how desperately one human needs to know another 
that he is dizzy spinning stories:

  1. The whole earth could be a gleaming sphere of Jupiter moon
     lit by the speed of Saturnic cyclones
  2. I knew truth before I could see him 
  3. And when finally I could see him
     he flickered like wire burnt and dissipated 

Did you spot the lie the earth could never tell?

The trick is to try and focus on what cannot be seen;
dig out all the holes of context fuzzy
and waiting for you:

  1. Look again at the earth.
    This time it is the mottled photograph
     buried beneath your sock drawer
    of the people you need the most
  2. Good and evil were born entirely from the heart of man 
  3. The heart of man is held captive by the fate of his own hands
Everyone knows the human heart cannot be morassed by morality 

Last one, are you ready?

  1. Take a magnifying glass
     to the home of a billion bleeding creatures
     all of them motivated by an internal tick and
  2. You can see the microscope cannot lie:
     they each sigh according to a hum drum resounding 
  3. One voice is not enough,
    but it is the choir that reigns victorious 
Of course one voice is enough.
Your one small voice is more powerful an army
 than all the galaxies combined.

about: perception matters, but so does the objective truth
