This Truth of Yours, Mine, Ours · Back on the Wagon of Reality
⁘ “Plain old truth. Then what is this truth? Not the truth of mine. Yours and everyone's too – all that we refuse to see. Blinded by our veils of desire and projection. Hard denial of reality. Don't threaten our ideas! But it's all a mesh of lies. Don't fall off the rails of reality, my friend.”
Clear takes.
Straight up.
Plain old truth.
Then what is this truth of yours?
But it's not the truth of mine.
It's the truth of mine and yours and of everyone's –
all the things that we refuse to see.
We are blinded from the truth by our veils of desire and projection.
You are so blinded by your hopes of what should be,
that you become entirely blind and oblivious
to what's right in front of you as it is.
Dreaming of your future, ruminating on your past,
then hey, looky looky, here's a fact, right in front of you,
in the present, calling for your attention – you need to address it.
But we do not hear that, we do not see that,
we do not register it, we enter into denial.
Some of us consciously, some of us unconsciously,
but all the same, a million coping mechanisms in action,
defenses straight online.
All these realities of life.
That threaten our ideas.
But when those ideas are unfounded,
it's all a mesh of lies you're in.
Don't fall off the rails of reality, my friend.
