Why is Truth so painful
So disagreeable
So disquieting
So troubling
So isolated
So agonizing
So objectionable
Until I do

Like a scar
that shows that it healed a wound.
I like
scars
They remind
that the pain is momentary
Just like
Truth.

“I do,” nodded the Mulla.
“Now what do you have to say to defend yourself?”
“Your Honor,‘ replied Nasruddin: ‘under those limitations … I have nothing to say.”
