As Soon As You Open Your Mouth

As soon as you open your mouth to say a word, It begins to turn into a lie, on more than one level. First, it lives in the past already, From which you have just re-animated it; Made it into a puppet, only toward Your own purposes. And even if the word isn't a lie right away, it will be- In a day, a few weeks, a month; as time goes on, It strays further and further from what's true. The world is slowly filling up with word-lies, All crashing into one another at dizzying speeds. When someone tells you solemnly, now what I am about to say Is the complete truth- even if they swear on their heartbeats, Their grave, the honor of their family for a thousand years- Close up your ears tightly, for what is coming cannot hold the truth, Any more than a sieve can hold water. Even arguing on the side of the truth generates more lies, Whose truth is always expiring like a parking meter, Second by second, before the words even leave your mouth. Better yet don't use your tongue at all; let the truth stand on its own, And let lies congregate together, with their own kind. But never try to say, that you always stood for truth or justice- because the very words, because they have the nature of words, Will reduce your demonstrative principles instantly to ash. Finally, don't even believe one word of this- it's already blowing dust, In the devouring autoclaves of time. What is that you say- you have something in your eye? Well don't try to name it, for god-sakes; names are only a different set of lies. Everyone is already choking on enough, don't you think?
