Just Wondering

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear. - Thoreau

i sometimes wonder

what life would be like

if no one could lie

not even to ourselves

we'd probably all be living in a pigsty

asking why

waiting impatiently to die

while denial and acceptance learn to cry

Author's Note

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board." - Thoreau

Wouldn't that be a better world?
Without the lies.
Amidst the chaos, we can find peace!
