The Truth is a Nightmare

Society tells us to tell the truth

Because the truth will set you free

Because truth equal freedom

Because the truth is what liberates all of us

But Society is also a hypocrite

Because the truth Is what society fears most

For the truth scares everyone

It scares the young and the old

The foolish and the wise

The poor and the rich

A lie is convenient and allows us to ignore reality.

Some people become addicts

Some people become alcoholics

Because it means for one moment

The problems of the world

The problems they face in their day to day lives

It all disappears.

There are many in society

Who would rather have short term bliss

And long term suffering

Then face the truth

Because the truth is a nightmare

For some

The truth is is exactly what we fear it to be

For others

What the truth could be,

What it might be,

scares us more than what it actually is.

So we rather live in ignorance and never find out

,but that only causes us to doubt everything

Doubt our friendships

Doubt our family

Doubt the world we live in

The truth is scary

And it terrorizes us all,

but we must face that terror head on

Running straight into the lion’s den

In order to free ourselves
