Pick a truth
there is my truth
there is your truth
there is six billion other people’s truth
there is jewish truth
there is jesus’s truth
there is krishna’s truth
there is shiva’s truth
there is kali’s truth
there is the buddha’s truth
there is mohammad’s truth
there is adolf hitler’s truth
and karl marx’s truth
i think i will get a spade
and bury my brain in a hole truth
there is our masters
who know best truth
and slaves and sheep who follow truth
and don’t forget the poor workers truth
and rich man laughing all the way to bank truth
there is the fat man’s truth
and the starving celebrity truth
there is liberal truth
conservative truth
left truth
right truth
backwards truth
forwards truth
sideways truth
there is truth that are lies
and lies that are truth
there is the truth of your true love’s eyes
and the guilt when your children cry
there is getting high truth
and life’s a bitch truth
but there is one inescapable truth
from the bum dressed in pavement black
to the suburban woman trying to get her horney youth back
and the careful man weighing his piles of cash
we will all be scraped into boxes of cinders and ash
or fillet steak for feasting worms
so live each day as best you can
and do something to help your fellow man
there is your truth
there is six billion other people’s truth
there is jewish truth
there is jesus’s truth
there is krishna’s truth
there is shiva’s truth
there is kali’s truth
there is the buddha’s truth
there is mohammad’s truth
there is adolf hitler’s truth
and karl marx’s truth
i think i will get a spade
and bury my brain in a hole truth
there is our masters

and slaves and sheep who follow truth
and don’t forget the poor workers truth
and rich man laughing all the way to bank truth
there is the fat man’s truth

there is liberal truth

there is truth that are lies
and lies that are truth
there is the truth of your true love’s eyes

so live each day as best you can

There is the truth that this is an awesome poem truth!!!
The listing of truths covers all the bases, couldn't have been listed better, and then the spinning out homily at the end:
"but there is one inescapable truth
from the bum dressed in pavement black
to the suburban woman trying to get her horney youth back
and the careful man weighing his piles of cash
we will all be scraped into a boxs of cinders and ash
or fillet steak for one eyed feasting worms
so live each day as best you can
and do something to help your fellow man"
- perfect, excellent!
(typo: "into a boxs of cinder and ash" to "into boxes of cinders and ash" OR "into a box of cinders and ash" ; and maybe also the next line down for flow "or fillet steak for one eyed feasting worms" to "or fillets of steak for one eyed feasting worms" OR singular "or fillet of steak for one eyed feasting worms"? - or maybe "steak fillets for.../ steak fillet for..."! ) - any way, this poem rocks, can't say it enough!
