sea of perjur

fidelity truth transparency honesty
our tribe does not set the ground
for growing the culture of fidelity
we are not used to it
not trained to be open
fidelity is not an act you pull out on occasion
it is a way of being
a man was killed hiking on katahdin
boulder fell from above
no time to set things right
just swept from the trail by two tons of granite
he did not plan it that way
was he a man of fidelity?
it's either yes or no
you can't feign it
rare is the man who can claim it
how odd to see it reflect in a stranger's eyes
no worry nothing to lose
tonight i'm just livin the blues
much harder in the familiar
the long dance
you'd think just the opposite
but we do not live in the hoop
we live as though a rail line
tearing up tracks behind us
new lands ahead
screw up and move on
the tribe demands a hoop
count on the truth
you can be and do whatsoever
but do not hide behind your lies
we all try or tried
some get lost in the sea of perjur
never to set foot on the land of truth again
truth is not being afraid
how did so many miss that lesson
