IF..

These two letters have the power to open or close doors.


You are not allowed to speak
unless you go with the flow.
If you speak the unvarnished truth,
they will accuse you of being the problem or foe.
If your honesty offends someone,
you are not allowed to be honest you go.
you are only allowed to suffer.
If you remain silent,
They will say you have nothing to show.
If you speak loudly,
They will say you are seeking attention they will crow.
If you cannot fake a smile you're drowning in gloom,
If you don't announce your pain online, you've never known doom.
If you announce your pain online, you're fishing for tears.
If you say a black hole is a black sun,
you will hear thunder,
and you will not hear discussion—even if I am wrong.
If you say you believe in one God, you will be isolated under a cloud of suspicion shroud.


The truth has a high price, and its own pains
for free minds.
Two letters hold the key…
But the door was never meant for you and me.
