 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Speak the truth



There is no one I know that will speak the truth.
Yet the truth is all that I seek.
There is no one I know that is strong enough,
Too admit that they are weak.
Everyone I know speaks of lies,
Always ‘others' are talking the talk.
Words just keep forming, no thought of what's spawning…
They must keep walking the walk.

There is no one I know that will understand,
Always excuses why ‘this' must be.
There is no one I know that seems wise enough,
Too understand what I see.
Everyone I know speaks of pain,
Always ‘others' to blame for their tears.
If only they'd see what is so clear to me…
Only lies… add to our fears!
