The Epiphany

At what cost the truth?

Trust
Such a misleading word
Tell me more
I’m listening…

So calculated, so sure
How could one ever doubt?
Tell me more
I’m listening…

Another idea?
Not so sure it fits the script
Fact check, let me check

My words, not yours

Only one voice
The others don’t count
If you say it, it must be true
Most never question, so it is

Pretending to not know
Take the easy way out

Follow the script
Truth at times can be ugly

Awakening over time
Reality shows itself
How can this be?
Not what we were told

Finally, the epiphany
The illusion ends
It’s just been one sick magic show
At what cost, the truth?

Trust
Such a misleading word
Tell me more
I’m listening…
