The Truth


I am here to speak the truth,

The truth is a horrible one,

A horrible one is injustice, lies, oppression, and a war.

A war to destroy our families,

To destroy our families is to destroy happiness, 

To destroy happiness is to destroy good itself,

To destroy good itself is to destroy life.

Life, a thing to be valued and loved, but isn't.

But isn't there a way to value life?

Value life by being kind, generous, and have inner peace, 

Have inner peace and teach it to others.

To others, you are a prophet, a sage, a monk.
