A heart that isn't afraid of the Truth. Imag by Annelise Lords

When our eyes see the wrongs

And we look without action

Convincing ourselves this isn’t our fight, it’s merely a distraction

The heart knows the truth

When our ears listen to lies

And we refuse to heed the words of the wise

Instead, we compromise

The heart knows the truth

When we use our tongues as weapons of destruction

Adding chaos to a world already in destitution

Instead of uniting with love and affection

The heart knows the truth

When our actions condone prejudice and injustice

As we proceed without humanity

Helping to create a world plagued with insanity

The heart knows the truth

The truth is like water, if it remains stagnant it becomes dangerous to humanity. Stagnant water transmits diseases that can contribute to an epidemic causing harm and lives. No matter what we tell ourselves, the heart always knows the truth, and like water, it will find a way in, or out.
