Perception

I cut a truth in two,
A half I kept from self
A half I keep from you,

Suppress the sadist inside,
as I cut little incisions
and make truth from half lies
with an alchemist's precision

Deny either of us two,
the whole as it is true,
I have cut it in equal piece
for fragmenting unease.

The truth is brittle as it is
too strong to survive with the weak
and too stark too outraged
to subtle down with the meek.

The wedge is thin.it divides,
the line between true lies
there is truth, there is deception,
but the devil called perception?

We have sold to the devil,
There is no good and no evil.
It is defined as per say
Infinite in many ways.

What was half a lie
half a truth became
and further twisted and turned
and truth and lies were the same.

There will be truth, there will be deception
what becomes of perception?
and then there is wrong and right
but what's left to decide?

then we termed 'Belief'
Laws, religion and lack of it.
All carnage of the psyche
split and as perceived.

We free our own devise
of virtue and of vice
and sins have become petty crimes
with convenience of times.
Soon they will be mundane,
but for the paranoids and insane.

There are wars and there onset,
arguments and unrest
outcomes,grim gore grief.
never death of a belief.

There is truth, there is deception
What a curse is this perception!

I had cut a truth in
equals of two
as one it was defined
now it is sublime

there is half a truth
half a deception
and triumphing rest
is the evil good perception.
