Why must it be

That every lie

Be shadowed by doubt

Because it contains within it

A grain of truth?

 

Are all of us

Speakers of a truth

That is only partial;

That in the expanse of life

Is but a grain?

 

Ask yourself

Is your truth unaccountable?

Is it inexpressible?

Does it need to create a lie

To be true in the first place?

 

And then,

Can such a truth, be true?

Can we find at all

A lie that is entirely true and

A truth that is not a partial lie?
