Tell the Truth | Angelica Fuse
For once
be honest
with yourself
with everyone
what needs to be
fixed
is also broken
in you
too much sexism
hatred
homophobia
racism
general darkness
lives right
under our society’s
surface.

Even with his large brain
he couldn’t see his own destructive behaviors
He could build one heck of a computer program,
but couldn’t see his own shortcomings,
which left him perplexed, as to why everyone abandons him
In your misery,
you cannot see the history
playing out in your life,
like a song on repeat
Anger, seething underneath,
because you refuse to address the issues,
that caused the problem in the first place
Never missing an opportunity
to poke fun
inflate ego
rant, rave, ridicule
pretend to stand
a little taller
Grabbing the club
resorting to violence
when a kind word
a meditative thought
would do quite nicely
instead.
He tries a million
Different things, and
None of them work.
He ponders the mystery
And decides it has
Nothing to do with him.
The missing element,
Of course, would be
What he doesn’t yet see.
Once upon a time,
I found the secret
to the truth
and,
to protect my sanity,
I smashed it
with a rock
and destroyed all trace
of the liar.

When for no reason
You ask for explanations
You are very sure
There are no conclusions
You would ever find acceptable
And thus going beyond
By a level higher
Let me be determined
To give you situations
And evidence
To tell you
Everything matters
Anything to your satisfaction
You may take
To put down a verdict
At a stage higher
I can contest
To offset your blind views
To let you at least
Now onwards open up your
Eyes to reality
To accept level to level
Knowledge changes
Reality explains and asks for more
Than how much in your limitations
You hold to be ultimate and inviolable
And to accept
You are not beyond
But bound to levels
And answers are there
Explanations are there
To let others see
Where you kept your eyes closed
Dozing off amidst words
And facts and positions
And dispositions and expositions
To err into light
Where your dark designs
And devilish visage
Would announce itself
And the world in derision
Shall dismiss you
From the levels
That you may look up to
As being genuinely and divinely human.
