Truth Is A Goat
Truth is a goat
Herded though the desert
By gruff, bearded keepers
Bearing hooked and wooden sticks
Truth is a goat!
Truth is a goat
Stubborn and unyielding
Scaling the mountain
In search of itself
Truth is a goat!
Truth ruts with gusto
Butting heads
With other truths
So eager to breed
And spread their seed
In temples and confessional booths
Truth is a goat!
Truth grazes on fiery gazes
Fixed on a stony creed
Written on truth’s tanned skin
Where it says knowledge
Is wrapped up in sin
Truth is a goat!
Strained holiness bellows
A hollow trumpet sound
Through the severed horns of Truth
Sacrificed in the name of the name
Bleating guilt
And bleating shame
Blurting Truths
Broken and tame
Oh beware if anyone dares
Say these goats are all the same
Truth is a goat!
Truth is a goat
And no one seems to raise goats anymore
It’s all sacred cows
And lambs to the slaughter
Dancing atop steepletop bells
Just as well
For Truth’s coming around the mountain
On a steep vertical crag
Where no biped dares to tread
Wild and unkempt terrain
Truth that won’t stay in a single head
Or remain in pickled brains
Truth is a goat!
Truth is a goat
And the ego is a dog
Barking and corralling
Wandering wayward Truths
Faithfully serving the Shepherd
Who butchers the meat of the matter
And sells the Truth to the highest bidder
Truth is a goat!
Truth is a goat
As old as the hills
Living on quotes
Getting by on cheap thrills
Hooves split asunder
And never quite still
Unafraid of thunder
Hungry, unfulfilled
Kind of makes you wonder
If the old goat really knows
And if we ever will
If we ever will
If we ever will
Is Truth A Goat?
No Mind Left Unblown
