Buy the Truth and Sell it Not

-

The world that we know of today is a lie
A system that’s set to break down and destroy
Destroy what is innocent, or pure, good and true
A system where mostly the wicked get through

For one to sustain and uplift in this place
It’s set for indecent and corrupted actions
The ones who are truthful are never the ace
They falter and fall into dissatisfaction

It’s rare for the good to have everything covered
They labor in earnest but all is devoured
They’re tested quite daily and pressured to sin
Though harder they labor, it’s harder to win

The wicked still prosper by using their lies
Thus some good men stumble and fall to the ground
A flood of deception to drown all the wise
Some regain composure while others stay down

It’s why good men daily must buy of the truth
The truth is refreshing and keeps up their youth
Despite of the refuge of lies and deceit
The truth taken daily will strengthen their feet

And those in deception are dead while they live
The wrongs of their living to them only right
They cannot see clearly nor even perceive
But woe for their taking of darkness as light

The truth will be hurtful at least for the while
But still at the last those who buy it will smile
And those who have chosen to sell it away
Will slowly but surely be moved out the way

Activate Diligence

Slow but not steady, go but not ready I'm just sitting on earth doing nothing already Every day every hour I'm just lazing around And I'm all about sleep because I'm feeling all down Spending most of my day as I listen to sounds There are  things to be done There are places to be gone I know I must do it but I haven't begun Must muster the will to fire the gun But I would rather run Though my body feels like it weighs a tonne Yes my flesh is weak at every turn So I stare at the ceiling or look out the view Or I start daydreaming about a thing or two But I never get started on items of taste The doing of the nothing is all such a waste This cannot continue; this useless state No time to be idle must demonstrate Let the will of action be transferred to me And with wonderful wisdom let me start to be It is time, yes it's time for productivity Move on out of this spirit of despondency Set the switch of my power on priority Set the mind o...
