Truth

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

Pat yourself on the back
Before others steal your thunder
Remember when it rains it pours
Truth doesn't operate like that
It has no need for deceit
And those that believe it 
Have no respect for themselves or others
The road of deceit of paved with more of the same
Life is much more satisfying with truth
It has no confusion or complication
It doesn't crumble and fall apart
It stands tall in the Light
Brightly shining despite the spite of others.
