Truths

Truth, to be weight against Maat's feather.
Not what you would believe truth to be.
It is the truth of the Gods.

Your silence spoke volumes as you walked with Anubis,
You watched him place your heart unto the scales to be weight against Maat's feather.
You stand still and watch as the Gods wait for tilt or balance.

Do you fear that your heart will be devoured?
Or do you believe you spoke the truths that needed to be said?
Will your heart be found right by the trial in the Great Balance?

You watch, waiting to see what Thoth will write in his book.
Will you Thoth present you to Osiris?
Or will you greeted by the teeth of the crocodile headed creature, Am-mit?

It is not mine to judge you for I know that all will be judged.
I ask you now to speak all truths, that your heart may be found right.
One day I will stand in trial of the Great Balance.

I think that maybe truth is only what people want it to be. Their truth, not what others may see as truth. Is that whats important? Their truths? Does the truth even matter anymore? It doesn't seem to hold the same importance that it once did. Once a person word was truth and now you are lucky to hear the truth.

I'm tired
