All the Truth
I cannot know all the truth
Like I cannot hold all the air that we breathe in my hands
Both are needed to live fully.
Lies lead to the collapse of trust:
I think my next store neighbor will kill me.
I will never know all the truth
Like I will never contain God in a box.
The truth cannot be contained be prison walls and authoritarian wardens,
Because truth leads to the collapse of barriers.
Author Note: i will never know all the truth until Truth, himself, comes back and takes me to the City on the Hill, until then I will try to take in as much as possible.
