the meeting.<\/p>\n
i bumped into Truth on the subway,
\nhis clothing was ragged and torn,
\nand he looked with dismay
\nat Hatred and Rage,
\nand with pity at Anger and Scorn.<\/p>\n
it seems he had left with the world in this mess
\nand had given up trying to try.
\nand he gazed up at me,
\nwith this look so serene,
\nand the tear of Fate caught in his eye.<\/p>\n
he had hidden himself in the details
\nby sealing up all of the doors.
\nhe retreated inside,
\njust a new place to hide,
\nfar from the violence and wars.<\/p>\n
he had lost all his faith in Humanity
\nand Humanity lost faith in him,
\nas he started to fear for his sanity,
\nseeing children abused
\nand the face of Love bruised
\nwhile Ignorance lied on a whim.<\/p>\n
’cause he needed a decade to think
\nand mix it around in his brain.
\nthe Hurt we inflict,
\nthe Evil, the Sick,
\nthe Torture, the Horrors, the Pain.<\/p>\n
he returned with a sense of frustration
\nthat no one could help him defeat.
\nquite unable to find
\na Peace in his mind
\nthat would aid his attempts in the street.<\/p>\n
see he couldn’t abide by Injustice
\nand he didn’t find Racism fair
\nand he just couldn’t see
\nwhy someone like me
\ncould’ve found any reason to care.<\/p>\n
i bumped into Truth on the subway
\nand our meeting just doesn’t seem real.
\nto encounter blind grace
\nin such a chance place,
\nthat’s made up of concrete and steel.<\/p>\n
