    Poem Commentary

    The truth will set you free. Sometimes you have to decide if you want to be set free.

    Do you really want the truth?

     You ask me a question.
    Deny deny deny.
    If you know the truth,
    then why dont I?

    Stop badgering me.
    I dont want to tell.
    I want to hide the truth,
    Come Heaven or Hell.

    Obviously,
    you dont know what your digging for.
    Do not ask me again,
    your becoming a chore.

    Secrets are meant to be kept.
    You just want to know.
    If you really cared about the truth,
    you would let respect show.

    If I give you an answer,
    how do you know its true?
    I could make up a story
    and feed it to you.

    Do you really want to know the truth?
    I dont care if you do.
    I am keeping it secret
    from me and from you.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
