Nothing is Farther From The Truth

 
This is a tale about Johnny
who was sweeter than honey
Johnny who?
There was a handsome guy named Johnny
who was so funny, until he lost all his money
for the culmination of his lifelong dream -
becoming a beautiful Jhoanie...

Jhoanie met a rich rancher named Anthony
while riding in his white pony;
they fell in love, and after the matrimony
Anthony whispered to Jhoanie:
"Don't be surprised honey,
if I tell you I'm not really Anthony -
my real name is Antoniette.
I was afraid you won't marry me,
if I tell you the truth about the real me."

Jhoanie laughed out loud, so loud
until she sounded hoarse,
and until her laughter broke into tears,
and sobbing she proclaimed:
Honey, omigosh! This is so funny,
for I used to be Johnny!

Whether this is sweet or cruel
twist of fate:
nothing is farther from the truth,
for God created man in His own image,
no man should interfere, but...
I leave that, for you to decide.
Sometimes the truth really hurts,
yet the same truth can free us
from a life of lies and hatred
making us see the world
in a different light.
