Selective Truth
by Phronesus Disegno
Age Group: Adult
When one sees "selective truth"
One really won't get far.
One sees the things one wants to see,
And treats the rest bizarre.
But what exactly is such truth,
So far from being complete?
It's treating all the rest as lies
Without all facts replete.
And treating "some" truth like a lie,
And favor "some" truth more,
And all because one "likes" some truth
And leaves the rest ignored,
Maybe that's why they have friends
Who might leave them behind,
Perhaps the threat of friendship's end
Might help them not be blind.
I guess it means that one can't face
The whole reality,
Believing one can live with grace
When one chooses not to see.
But when one chooses not to see
I know this graceful fact:
They don't look before they leap!
(So listen for the "Splattt!")
