TRUTH


You can not change the world
If you can not earn a mother's love
If you can not detach from evil
And be content with what you have

Man has dreams but his choices are limited
He gets choked with challenges and problems
When life becomes vulnerable 
Do not let the heart be buried with a guilty conscience 

Be careful to guide the mind and body
Break your vows made to every unjustified cause
Despite life could be altered indiscreetly
We still indulge in unethical thoughts

They say it is okay to bear false witness
One bad decision will not hurt the soul
But many lives have been deprived and destroyed
Hundreds of people remanded in prison as a result of this

Tell the truth, do not wait until you are sentenced for life
Tell the truth, it builds confidence inside
Tell the truth, do not panic to peer pressure
Take your stand, everything is going to be alright
