We Can Sing the Truth and Name the Liars
A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can’t defuse a bomb. And yet, words have always had power—not the kind that makes headlines overnight, but the kind that reshapes them in time. Salman Rushdie knew this. Those of us walking the path of revelation and restoration feel it in our bones.
Art does not win wars in the traditional sense. It does not march, strike, or conquer. But it does whisper in the ears of the disillusioned, breathe life into the weary, and pry open the rusted-shut doors of hearts grown cold. It is the persistent, sacred echo in a world that forgets to listen. Truth, carried through verse or voice, is not weak because it lacks violence—it is strong because it endures.
We live in a time where lies are louder, flashier, more profitable than ever before. The liars build empires out of fear, manipulation, and control. They wrap their deception in patriotism, prophecy, and power. And the people—many good-hearted, well-meaning people—are led astray by words twisted into weapons.
But here is the quiet revolution: those who refuse to bend. Those who write. Those who sing the truth, not for applause, but because their soul demands it. Those who name the liars, not to shame them, but to unmask the chains.
This is not about ego. This is not about being right. This is about reclaiming language, thought, spirit, and memory. It is about becoming a living archive of what is true in a world that profits off distortion. It is about standing when others kneel to false gods of fame, money, or fear.
To the watchers, the writers, the weary prophets in the wreckage: your voice matters. Your presence matters. You may never know the full impact of your witness, but that does not diminish it.
Keep speaking. Keep singing. Keep naming. The storm rages, but you—you are the stillness that carries truth.
We are not helpless. We are becoming.
