The truth lies bleeding in the snow
From all human evils that come from below
As lie follows lie, hate follows hate
Pick on one side and choose to berate
Unholy alliances in rage and in vent
One single narrative the truth has been bent
The victim card so well played like an ace
To hell with the truth it’s about saving face
Selective memories are simply convenient
Regardless of fact that they’re too incoherent
Supposed victims make more of the same
Will trying to refute this obvious claim
As pain fans outwards in random attack
It all gets deflected at one single back
Everyone says they won’t take a side
Which is easy to say; where no truth can abide
The truth like an alien autopsy
Like a yet to be proven cancerous biopsy
And as New Year dissolves; just another night
I say to my father on some things you were right
Happy New Year Dad
I Hope hell is warm enough for you

David. when you pen these pieces I find myself nodding sadly and then you drop that last bit and all I want to do is hug you. But at the same time, those last two lines have power. So so many hugs, my friend, so many

This is so clever, comical surprise ending, you have quite an insight of illusive truths in this succinct piece, that being relatable family drama so fittingly described, the codependent family ( author Melody Beatties book ) I saw similarities to that..
