Tell The Truth Without Reservations. Poem by Black Consciousness Poetry BCP

In this day and age the truth is smothered, in this day and age the lie is celebrated, and if the lie is God then the media is his prophet. They write it in sacred text, words twisted by men and enforced on the ignorant, and so the messes are are marched with repetitions from the books in school to the propaganda in the news papers, conditioned not to question what is held as a norm, and taught to treat thinking independently as sin punishable. The lie is sent around the earth while the truth is still getting ready to launch.

Tell the truth without reservations. But if you do, be not oblivious to the fact that she who speaks the truth has no friends, be conscious to the fact that it is the lie that is funded and payed for but the truth is seen to have no value to invest in, if you are going to tell no lie but utter truth know that others will be uncomfortable and people will drift from you and that isolation might be a very familiar place and rejection and persecution will seek you like a blood thirsty mosquito. But tell the truth anyway. Greetings.
