do I reason, do I season
facts with humour
do I sneer
at rancid nonsense
rabid lies
how to make clear
I hold dear
facts, truth
human rights
freedom of speech
how do I reach
How do I get the message out
do I cry, do I shout
do I beg to differ, do I pout
what is this world
of insane speech
how do I reach
do I reason
do I wait for a better season
how do I reach
How do I get the message out
do I cry, do I shout
do I beg to differ, do I pout
vilified
demonized
those who stand for facts, for truth
do I decry the lies
how do I not give up how do I reach
when insanity is king
how to bring truth to sink in
like rain to parched earth
truth for all its worth
how do we reach
how do we quicken senses
break through pretences
do we preach
do we screech
do we cajole
do we hole up in despair
why do we care?
but we do care
so how do we reach
with facts that are clear
with truths we hold dear
because they are truths
and the truth shall set you free
but what about me
the truths have captured me
I set them free
they call
help me
so here I am
with a ragtag bag of truths
How do I get the message out
do I cry, do I shout
do I beg to differ, do I pout
it's said
the truth shall set you free
for now,
I'm trying to set truth free
