truth

It’s not doing what’s easy but doing what’s right
seeking truth from under the lies
the first step is easy and I choose to take it
come with me and open your eyes.

I pity the world and myself along with it
we are clueless, controlled, and sedate
belief without question, accepted as true
though I think this deserves some debate.
Is ignorance bliss? Are we safe in a world
of fun-house mirrors distorting what’s real?
No, we’re not safe, just stupid is all
thinking it’s better to be numb and not feel.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I see the allure
of immersing yourself in delusion
but without recognition of a problem as real
you’re unable to form a solution.

It’s a lot harder, you see, to actually see
when we choose to be purposely blind
to wander astray while lacking a purpose
if we don’t Seek then we cannot Find.
But we are the trickster as well as the fool
it’s a shock that we haven’t caught on
we allowed the illusion to aid our confusion
it must’ve been the plan all along.
Because Lies are like pillows, and Truth is like knives
it’s just a matter of which you prefer
to be comfortably smothered or sharply awoken
you simply need the strength to endure.
