Distortion

Everybody lies

What's the big deal?

It's impossible to know what is and isn't sealed

Faith is the lies we tell and tell ourselves

Life is the lies we tell everybody else

History is a daisy chain of lies

Humans love distortion

Public record is a poetic device

Blown way out of all proportion

[spoken:] i look at the color red, and say 'red'.

Everyone else looks at the color and says 'reddish'.

We all say i don't believe it til i see it,

But so much happens between light in the eye and assimilation of that data in the consciousness.

A symbol beam bending, or …. or experienced anomalies

Or electrical distortion along the optic nerve.

But more mysterious are the magnetic osmotics

Sloshing around inside the hi-falutin grey filter switchboard that is brain.

Miles of rough road!

Vital baggage is tossled gore, tossed off the truck

Everyone sees it in a certain way, everyone knows it as only they can know it,

And everyone has things that only they can see

Understanding breaks down,

Gulfs in agreement develop

….[old greekdoms??] crumble

We all define the stuffs and stages of our worlds with terse tags and populist generalities.

We all know a rose, is sometimes a rose

But what fucking color is it? what fucking color is it

Everybody fibs, myths are entertained

Delusions are encouraged and/or covertly ingrained

Faith is the lies we tell and tell ourselves

Life is the lies we tell everybody else

Common knowledge is a daisy chain of lies

Humans love distortion

Civilization is costume revery, culture by coercion

Everybody lies
