17 Truthful Lies
A dark substance
Drink it when the elixir of truth
Spills
Dripping
Slowly…
Innocence drowns in a deep, red pool
How can you fish out
The survivors of the collapsing stage?
The last existing angels?
Before they, too, fade in despair
Into artificial justice.
As compensation
For the sins you've committed
The lives that you've taken
Let us shine a black spotlight on you
And your "truths,"
Your lies.
