True Burden

Does truth have to be a burden.

Surely the neighbours are tired of hearing

The lying fireworks

And pitchforks for

Truth

They even got Socrates for it

Nelson Mandela was sent to prison

Sure, even the Christ of it all

Was pushed off a cliff

But surely, truth doesn’t have to be a burden

It’s a warped distorted

Bang on the head from

The Invisible puppet master

Who always deals in two hands
But surely truth doesn’t have to be a burden

Suppose,

It is and it isn’t
