I was awoken
Truth hit me like a great weight
The old world was gone
Legions of ghostly soldiers
Gathered to deliver truth

We’re playing the game
Waiting for you to wake up
Prepare to be shocked

No one likes the truth
Like a bitter enemy
Truth nevertheless

It is like a seed
Buried deep under layers
Nurture growing shoots

Haiku from a Picture: ‘Records’

Records of events
Truth is not compulsory
A narrowing path
