Confessions of a confused citizen

How would I know what I believe is true

if opinions were all I’m holding to

and the wind of my words just whistled through

the empty rooms inside.

Consistency eloped with truth,

and married her to give us proof

that neither one can stand aloof

a bond you can’t divide

If I didn’t think what I said was true

I wouldn’t say it.

If I thought my hose was full of gasoline

I wouldn’t spray it.

And you’re sitting here telling me the truth I knows a lie

when yours is contradictorily stranded high and dry

If everything you’re trying to tell me now is even true

I shouldn’t take the time to even try believing you.
