''Someone Spoke the Truth''

Someone spoke the truth
and now the world is on its ear
Someone said the words
that just confirmed our deepest fear
Someone told the secret
citing chapter even verse
And instantly transformed it
to a blessing from a curse
Someone finally said
what we've suspected all along
And now it's done gone viral
every poem. Every song.
Someone cut the tethers
opened mouths that once were gagged
The genie and the cat
are now unbottled and unbagged
Someone freed the masses
from the shackles on their minds
Now everything we thought we knew
must now be redefined!
What if everything you knew
was built on sinking sand
Events you thought were random
guided by an unseen hand?
What if those you thought
were at the bottom of the pole
Were, in fact, your masters
leading from a servant's role?
What if all you held as dear
your sacred cloths and books
Were all a cruel joke
made up by criminals and crooks?
What if those you held up high
on pedestals of pride
Were there through obfuscation
in other words, because they lied?
Yes, beggars rise as captains fall
your king, now underclass
The truth shall set all free
yes, on the day such comes to pass!
