“Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges.”
Source: Billy Budd, Sailor and Selected Tales
“Truth usually makes no sense. If your desire is for everything to make perfect sense, then you should take refuge in fiction.

War, famine, pestilence, death all occur randomly and senselessly and leave us more often than not scratching our heads and hurling the question 'why?' into a void that provides no answers.”

For your conscience,
Be prepared to be hated

I’ve seen you in my dreams vivid and bright
colors never seen before wrap around my heart
never asking questions, your eyes pierced into my soul

they come to you, you hear their prayers
you’re there to guide their way.
There’s freedom in your love
It defines our very soul
Lord, these brilliant colors fill the heart
knowing the truth that will be told.”
