Day in Day out

Day in Day out 5/30/2013

There is a lake
Far away from here
And in it is a secret
That I don’t know.

The earth and its waters
Are more mysterious
Than you think
And buried in them
Are the answers
We cannot find.

Antiquity has buried
The magic we call myth
And in it is the truth
That we have ignored.

We are not near as smart
As we think we are
And our arrogance is greater
Than any other
Has pretended.

The dead hand holds the secrets
That my mind has rejected
And the rock cut by God
Shall bring it all down.

All of this we know
And all of this we have learned
But its not worth a thing
If we do not observe
And reject the truth.

The truth is the truth
And sometimes it hurts
No matter what we hear
And what we wish.

On the street
And in the stores
Standing in line
And sitting at your desk.

What is the truth?
And what does it say?
Because no argument means a thing
If it contradicts
What you know.
