so get this... the michigan state university band has approximately 300 members. we're sending, what, 32? no big. and did i mention that they highstep like we do? and that they have no upper woodwinds (ie, no flutes, piccs, nor clarinets) -- [which may actually be a good thing, hehehe -- j/k guys!]? yup. i wanna see this band now. along those lines, i'm going ot get my oski tie before most of the newmen since uniform for michigan requires it so.

this next installment of abstractia was written as a response to a prompt originally from one of my old journal entries ("define truth") which transmutated into a poem fit for this little project of mine. so here, yet another working definition for this abstraction:

truth

truth hurts.
it is never beautiful and is always ugly.
truth liberates the mind from the heart
the heart from the soul
the soul from the body
the body from the mind
and everything in between.

truth accepts.
it is never judgmental and is always biased.
truth gives peace to the belligerent
war to the hateful
hate to the mindful
thought to the careful
care to the peaceful.

truth lies.
it is never fully true and is always incomplete.
truth destroys the walls of society
if let loose
if grown rampant
if harbored wrongly
if abused.

truth is all too powerful.
