Truth

"You get truth through hard work.
The truth is earned," he said.
"Here's some truth," I replied,
and kicked him in the head.

Some truth is hard and pointy.
Some truth is soft and round.
Sometimes you have to hunt for it.
Some truth is simply found.

"You get truth through hard work.
The truth is earned," he said.
I beat him with a baseball bat
until all his truth was red.

Some truth is quite comforting.
Some truth will cause you pain.
But if you insist your truth is all,
you'll drive everyone insane.

"You get truth through hard work.
The truth is earned," he said.
Then some truth fell from the sky
and crushed his lumpy head.
