Truth Lies Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

The truth lies
In your more noble days
Covered in
A thick layer of dust
Sitting on
Your self-made throne
You sacrifice everything
That won’t bow down

The truth lies
Bound in a sacred trust
But like a green eyed snake
You wait to strike
Full of venom you hide
With your foolish pride
Curled up in your hole

Your truth lies
For anything
That will
Keep your dream alive
Anyone who stands
In your shadow
You just burned
Alive
