Suppression

Suppression     2/5/2015

The smaller the man

The bigger the lie

Because only the humble

Can grow inward

Like a giant.  

Today of all days

It is an honor to live

Even though we face terror

And betrayal. 

The good will be tested

While the evil remain safe

But even this is a blessing

As we are prodded

And stretched. 

Trials and tribulations

Make us think

Pulling and pushing us

To search and grow. 

But Idle comfort

And false safety

Stunt the soul

Spoiling us like an infant
Forever.

The truth can get you punished

Now more than ever

As the world grows top heavy

And rotten.

Slowly rumbling

And trembling under the weight

As we layer on the deceit

Rancid with mold.  

The truth is obvious

But this only raises the stakes

As the liars become desperate

To punish who they hate. 

Victory eludes them

And our happiness

Drives them insane

As we go about our lives

Loving just the same.
