Balancing Act

There are those that say

All men are evil

There are those that say

All women are bitches

I would hazard a guess

Somewhere in the middle

There lies the truth

There are many believe

Their religion is righteous

Some have opinions

In direct opposition

Probably true to say

Somewhere in the middle

There lies the truth

There are those that think

All politicians are criminal

Then there's those that believe

That this cannot be so

In a twist of reality

Somewhere in the middle

There lies the truth

There are those that believe

That there press is unbalanced

On the opposite fence

Sit those in conspiracy

Plain for those that can see

Somewhere in the middle

There lies the truth

If the truth is not yours

Then all you believe is a lie

And you delude yourselves

All you believe is the truth

As you roam the extremes

Alone in the middle

The truth lies waiting
