TRUTH

She sat at your table

You laughed at her jokes

She saw then, but couldn't believe

It was all an orchestrated hoax

You invited her to afternoon lunches

But left her to find friends

Her presence made a difference

But not enough for the lies to end

She beheld the scuttlebutt 

You four crowded in static whisper

She was too white for your dark

Drink and tattoo parlors to appear a hipster

You received her flow of life

Inviting your leeches to glow bright

Siphoning energetic creation

So you could be THE light

She said nothing..just walked away

Hoping you would return in time

You did, with gestures of value

To ensure she was still in line

...to bow

TRUTH doesn't speak

She stands in LOVE

Scales in hand

Inside Mama dove 

Court is in session

Only WORD has the floor

TRUTH was never alone

Daddy God has cut the cord

...to lies
