The Whole Truth be Told Slowly
Give the Whole truth, but each
part be told slowly.
From the dark abyss of relaying lies
to the light of Truth’s harsh halo
every word counts.
The pauses as well.
Be cautious of each spoken sound
but let it be clearly heard like a ringing bell.
As the eyes cleared and opened
because of such sweet words
Let the fire slowly grow
so that no one be burnt.
