White Lies
From this moment forward, until I'm able to discover otherwise
In my mind, everything that I was ever taught is full of white lies
Disguised as truth then given to youth to begin assimilation
The more I learn, the less I discern; building my frustration
The equations aren't adding up to the stuff I thought I knew
Now I'm questioning everything that I used to perceive as true
What's one to do when engulfed by and drowning in deception?
Seek out the torch bearers to see clearer; then reassess the calculation

What's one to do when engulfed by and drowning in deception?

Wonderfully penned, that moment when you realise your world is full of little white lies. Everything from that point on changes. Nice work here
