Cost of Truth
by OnepoetGem *the Poetic Rapper → (All Poetry by OnepoetGem *the Poetic Rapper)

Cost of the truth,
maybe hit in the mouth,
lose a tooth.
Whatever the cost,
it may not equal the loss.
A setback may occur,
others may not concur.


Truth hides,
facing up rides.
Who wants to face up,
it may be too hard to lace up?
Sometimes in surviving,
to ourselves we be jiving.
We'll jive on for years,
to keep from facing our fears.


To each their own,
I'm not picking no bone.
Facing up made me settle,
but my soul it did rattle,
at least I'm not out,
wandering with the cattle.


Where's the beef ?


G

You have cattle in Baltimore...? Must be in a section away from the 95/895 area, the only place I have seen thereabouts...
