Time for the Truth


A world,

where bad is bad, and good is bad

where you cant find it all

and friends line the streets

most are homeless,

some searching for a job

you see the pain

you see the suffering

the news tries to hide, 

telling lies of happiness and prosper

that isn't what you see,

crimes of passion, and pain

someone is needed,

needed to tell the truth

showing people the truth

removing the veil of lies,

revealing the pain of the truth

afraid to fail,

afraid to disappoint

needed to be done,

by someone that sees it all

its time,

time for the truth
