The inconvenient truth

   I

Repetition of lies does not make things true
Repeating, repeating, just layers around the inconvenient truth

Creating straight lines between historic points
Imposes another reality upon the inconvenient truth

Story telling can be creative, adding nuance to
Data attempting to disarm the inconvenient truth

Trying to capture a thought as it happens
Leaves ones hands wet with the inconvenient truth

Is thought just words or are there other aspects
Perhaps harder to grasp than the inconvenient truth

Light breeze bends branches tipped with buds about
To blossom reinvigorating the inconvenient truth

  II

Galileo's lens construed science to exclude consciousness 
Which is really the most inconvenient truth

Everything has to be great or greater than
Repetition adds invisible clothes to the inconvenient truth

Reducing science to measurable metrics avoided 
Offending the Church with the inconvenient truth

Returning to the natural, biological ways
Leads science to the inconvenient truth

“Tears and fears, and feeling proud, to say
‘I love you’ right outloud” reveals the inconvenient truth

Repetition of scientific truths gives life, breath
And hope for those who know the inconvenient truth

So Sherlock, having looked at thought from both sides now
Are you reconciled with the inconvenient truth
