THE SCANDAL OF TRUTH

What shall be told of Truth in this Modern Generation...
Truth is a Scandal
Oppression, suppression labels itself democracy
Marginalization labels itself Liberalization.
Solemn words conceal the most hideous propaganda.
Justice so boasted of is a tool for the rich, powerful to oppress the poor.
Liberty so boasted is a load of hostile chains. At liberty to choose one's chain of enslavement, bondage.
Freedom portrays itself as a right but within it lies hidden the mystery of the Law that keeps our freedom in check.
Where then is the freedom?
Free but bound under the Law.
We boast of our independence but are totally interdependent as individuals, nations, races...
We preach peace but build warheads instead.
We boast of our security and fortification but fear of uncertainty, impending doom lurks within.
That very innermost fear causes us greater woes than our doomsday and is our very own destruction.
Is the Truth now a scandal?
