Truth
By Kyle Oakeson
Yes is yes
No is no
Everything is Everything
Nothing is Nothing
This is this
That is That
What’s wrong is wrong
What’s right is right
Truth is Truth
Don’t ever change that
Because
Up is Up
Down is Down
Left isn’t right
unless right is wrong
Left is Left!
Don’t ever change that
Because whatever’s left
might be nothing at all
and nothing
is nothing
worth nothing
at all.
This poem is about language in general. If you go around misusing words or changing phrases, or---specifically: if you purposely use people's words to mean whatever you want them to mean and not what the author's intent was then you're going to make language unusable. (it's a philisophical blowing out of proportion)
