The truth shall set you free
So goes one famous quote
The truth will hurt and oft times kill you
And… 
The “truth” is known by only a select few 
Two others that should be 
Disseminated widely

There are some things 
Some people cannot understand
There are some things 
Some people refuse to understand
And…
There are some things 
Some people are incapable of understanding

In this society
You can't survive without money
And the pursuit of copious amounts
Is a futile lifelong pursuit of many
It is an excellent diversion
Keeping your head firmly on the narrow road 
and the elusive decoy rabbit 
The subtle, insidious, scenery…
Missing IT!

You need love they say
Everybody needs somebody to love
Somebody to love them
And the pursuit of copious amounts 
Physical attraction
Sexual addiction
Adds up to one excellent diversion
Keeping your head firmly on the narrow road 
and the elusive decoy rabbit 
The shifting face, faces of
The chameleon
Missing IT!

The pursuit of certain knowledge
Absolute Power
And
Control
Things you cannot 
Buy
Sell
Or find “ in love”
All of the above
I crave

All else is moot
Dirt underfoot

So excuse me
If I pass on your almighty dollar
Disregard the occasional
I love ya

I don't think you realize
Just how high
I've set my golden eye

The truth can set you free
If you can see 
IT
Before you're overwhelmed by 
The enshrouded snakes

Behind and beneath the Halcyon gates

Maybe

I'll do whatever I must
To maintain my focus
