Truth

By: Maddie Miguel

Truth is lost in our society.

It’s constantly altered into lies

that we all think is true but isn’t.

Truth, although harshly real,

is transformed into gossip

confusing its listeners.

Sliding off the tongues

of well trained liars



Or is lying just covering up the truth

to make less people cry and wonder.

A superficial soft coating

protecting the hard bitter center.

So the truth can slide down easier

with just a touch of lies

down the ears of each person

that hears of it once more
