Understood To Understand



When truth becomes understood,
To understand its purpose and value.
Many begin to awaken.
With a doing done to realize,
Lies to tell sold to sell well...
Is a temporary deceiving position to be in.
And too painful to describe,
Whose lives are affected.
Permanently to victimize.

When truth becomes.
A way of life.
To know and expose,
Those who refuse to accept truth as it is.
Difficult it is for them to deny,
Lieing and not truth to live...
Continue to look and seek for ways,
To blame and accuse others...
For actions they take to do to themselves.

Especially...
When they have shown,
Made to make known...
It is always the fault of someone else.
As to why their troubles,
Seem to come knocking at their door.
Not to leave but to stay.
Time and time again,
To welcome them in.

'What are you trying to do?
Ruin my reputation?
How many times have I told you...
It's the BACK DOOR.
Just because you and I have this...
This habit going on between us,
Does not mean it's okay to let everyone know!
Geeessshhh.
Well, since you're here,
Tell me what you've heard so I can deny it!'
