Words & meaning

How To Fact Check Words. A poem.

6/5/20251 min read

When the words have lost all meaning
When you can't tell right from left
When freedom feels like suffocating
When kindness gives you but torment

When search for better takes you deeper in a bottomless despair
When for peace we need to slaughter neighbors outside of our fence
When the truth is made of conflict with exceptions to the rule
When both science and religion favor those that take the reign

Then it's time to use a language
That's incapable of lies
Go inside yourself in silence
For only there, the truth resides

Bullshit needs an audience.
Truth stands even in silence.
