9/11 The Truth To Be Told…the proof awaits

Who then distills my mind,
robs my time,
draws out starkest truth so blind
to bask upon lies and dry in harsher sun,
till brittle and substance starved,
and lies reside as if won;
yet slight of hand is truth alone,
and covering lies cannot be truth
no matter what it may imply,
for lies disguised always remain lies,
to any eye willing to see.

No matter how deep,
how many profess the truth,
to cover the heresy of secrets held,
lies ring out like sirens,
and guilt an obvious island where perpetrators
huddle in worried states,
knowing of their fragile fate,
their fall at truth’s behest,
will surely manifest in the end,
as lies become treachery,
blasphemy and treason.

And those who looked away,
were made to pay with dishonor,
will fall like dominoes,
and those who struck in higher rank
will pay the ultimate price,
no offer of mercy given,
for truth is sensitive, of particular need,
not some bartered seed of woe,
and those who deceive for gain,
cannot remain in power,
when truth resides in astute minds,
that see the lies, the sour will of greed.
