Let The Truth Be Known
By: Keith (Donyel)

Let the truth be known I am the Devil in disguise. I have a million lies hidden as truths that look to stay that way until I die. Everything I say is not what I meant and every place I said I would go is not where I went. The facade that I displayed was simply that, the truth was a house of cards that I did not want to fall flat. What is up with this and what is up with that? I am a brown colored man labeled as black. I have more than I require yet I continue to try and stack, obtaining stuff I don't truly need as to be able to say that I have this and had that. Place the twenties on the outside of my ones as I count my twenty-eight dollars using my freshly licked thumb. Let the truth be known I have not done all that I have said, I told a few lies just to (f) with your head. In an attempt to build myself up I tore some things down, it was like a Ringling Brothers Circus and I was the clown. It was not fake because you perceived it as real, because you've thrown so many fake cards on the table you could not even perceive what is real! Let the truth be known you ain't no different than me, in fact you maybe worse because you don't use your ability to perceive. You stare at the trees in an attempt to see the Forrest but your thoughts are too hollow and your perception is too porous! I could not warn you before because my kettle could not bring itself to tell you that your pot it is also black! So I set in the cut, played along and set back. Now I have to be truthful with myself in order to reap what I sew, so I have to let the truth be known so that my spirit can flow. Let the truth be known I will possibly tell a million more lies before I pass away from this earth and end up dead. Just know that my heart was in the right place and over threw my head. I just pray that I was truthful enough with you so you were not misled!
