Truth

Be careful whom you talk to

And what you say,

For things can be twisted

Any which way.

These are troubled times,

That we all know.

It’s oh so hard to tell

Friend from foe.

I love to be open and express my self,

But some things can’t be said: they are not allowed.

We have to stay silent I’m afraid to say,

And be PC to fit in with the crowd.

Oh to be honest

And tell the truth,

Like it was

In the days of my youth.
