TRUTH OR

CONSEQUENCES

When lies slide out our mouth,
then our eyes, our throat, our heart
know the truth and resent the lies.
The lump in our throat, the looking away,
the scratching of our wrist or the top
of our ear tell us to tell the truth
and we know it. We know the truth
and “it will set us free.” (John 8:32)
