  ADVOCATE FOR TRUTH (a poem by Caleb Kruse)

  The truth is, I don’t want to know the problem
  I want to know what takes away the pain
  I want to know the least that is required of me
  I want to know the most that I can gain
  
  I think that I’m an advocate for truth now
  But in my truthful moments I can see
  That when I see the truth I don’t accept it
  I trade it in for silver and reject it
  
  The truth is freeing more than any lies
  The truth is, that’s not what I’m looking for
  The truth is all that threatens my disguise
  And the sad truth is, that nothing scares me more
  
  I think that I’m an advocate for truth now
  But in my most truthful moments I can see
  That when I hear the truth I don’t obey it
  I hear the rooster crow and I betray it
  
  The truth is that my world is very little
  The truth is most offensive to my pride
  The truth would flip my tables in the temple
  And tell me not to sell my goods inside
  
  Well aren’t we all such advocates for truth now?
  But in our truthful moments can we see?
  That when we find the truth we just deny it
  We take on a hill and crucify it
