Unadorned Truth

The splendor of nakedness

Truth is like a beaker of unarmed spring water
Truth refreshes

Is like a trickle of intravenous venom

A beaker of fortified untruth
Is like ravenous cancer
Is like truth incarcerated
Is like fangs without the venom

Unadorned truth is the splendor of nakedness
