A picture of an old lady sitting on the ground, head in hands, inspired this
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ONE WOMEN TOLD THE TRUTH

What would happen if one woman told the truth?
The world would split open
The ground would rend, tear,
The woman would not lift head from her hands,
You’d see her sitting there.
Rocking, rocking, rocking;
Disbelievers would be standing
Mocking, mocking, mocking.

What would happen if one woman told the truth?
There’d be a vortex formed
Then the air would disappear,
The woman could never meet accusing eyes,
She’d sit shivering with fear.
Crying, crying, crying;
Suspicious people surround
Eyeing, eyeing, eyeing.

What would happen if one woman told the truth?
Space would implode
Into a vast black-hole,
The woman would never stand tall again
Never reach any goal.
Dying, dying, dying;
God angry at the injustice, her tears
Drying, drying, drying.
