One day,
the truth walked
into the courtroom...
...and was told shhhh...
you are not allowed to be here.
by everyone inside the room.
Your physical presence is allowed
only
but your words,
your essence,
and your wholeness
are not.
... by law...
The truth sat quietly and
watched, listened, as she
was
decimated
to a mere fraction
of her whole that was
the truth.
The lie was very vocal...
welcomed
encouraged
and unchecked
by everybody in the room,
as well
The lie was repeated
and repeated
...repetitively...
by a series of progressive
lies and liars
As the truth sat quietly,
surrounded by a room full of people
yet, completely alone
drowning in the sea of lies
The lie was reinforced
was ferocious and was
uncontested
Time after time
child after child
family after family
year after year
generation after generation
This confused the truth, at first
then the truth was both
saddened, then angered
rightfully, so
that she had been refused her voice,
her essence, her wholeness
by law
The truth protested inside the walls
The truth protested outside the walls
The truth, was not
allowed, still,
inside the walls to be
other than physically present
so, the truth remained unheard
...as the room was self-contained...
The truth, although was present
was there
only
partially...
unheard, and also
unseen to future appeals
as the record would not contain
her
whole truth...
so was not present at all, in fact...
other than the appearance of the truth
There would remain
only
that fraction
of the truth after
the judgement
was made
To precede any notions that the truth
would ever be wholly present
The truth was in a quandry
having the knowledge
that her wholeness was
not allowed in
by law
And that by not being allowed in...
...would also have no way of
getting out
a trap of sorts
The truth had fallen into
those traps before many times
child after child
family after family
appeal after appeal
year after year
generation after generation
but was denied
time after time
The truth had been fearful
of the power of the lie
for so long
that she had failed
the children
the families
the generations
having faced this wholly
...not partially...
the truth became
unafraid
of exposing her parts
that
had been hidden
for generations
the truth saw that
her parts
all of them
not just the one
were necessary in order to be
seen
heard
and made judgement on.
The lie said
NO
The law said
NO
The truth said
Yep
The lie, having become more
powerful,
and louder and louder and louder
than the
partial
truth
Was no match for the whole truth
the part that continued to overshadow
the whole truth...
was
Nothing but the truth.
Nothing but the truth
had been hiding behind the lie
by law
child after child
family after family
year after year
generation after generation
until
Nothing but the truth
had disguised itself
as the truth
...quite effectively
child after child
family after family
year after year
and
generation after generation
The lie, had, in essence,
then
become the truth
inside and outside of that room
The truth knew this
The lie, as well
And the battle raged
child after child
family after family
year after year
generation after generation
Until
The truth said
NO
outside of the room
inside of the room
to the walls of the room
that had contained her
child after child
family after family
year after year
generation after generation
and
lie after lie
Until the truth
was able to be revealed
in her wholeness
And the lie was revealed
as
'nothing but the truth'
this time?
By Law
not by law
