Does Truth Not Mean Anything Anymore?
Opened mouths and words flowing out,
tainting and destroying the air
they flow through.
Into the ears of others they go,
carried by the messengers
of rumors, opinions, judgments,
and their good friend, discrimination.
One look at someone and these words come rushing back,
the voice of freedom in your mind means little
when your tongue rolls and twists into the shape
to form a nasty thought into a verbal comment.
Truth has no meaning when overpowered
by the sick reality of
first impressions and
stereotypes.
After all, it takes longer to get to know someone
than to just pretend you understand them.
