Lies and Truths

Sometimes it’s so hard to tell
Both sides tell their stories well
You must be keen and sit a spell
To see who creeps back in their shell
 
            In anger they can scream in vain
            You plug your ears to stop the pain
            And wait for it to calm again
            Until more ground they try to gain
 
The cycle will continue on
For baseless claims go on and on
Till time crawls and the months are gone
You decide whose truth has brightly shown
 
            Only then the madness stops
            Voices quiet and tension drops
            Pressure slows, no veins are popped
            The truth has risen to the top
