The Usual Suspects

Remember the movie The Usual Suspects, starring Kevin Spacey?


Here is a poem by Reinaldo Garcia, entitled Every Man A Liar.
Every man a liar,

Nursing every grudge,
Slave to all desire,
One day will be judged.
Every man is guilty,
All men falling short,
Dressed in rags so filthy
In the Holy Court.

You know you know
You live in sin.
You cast yourself below,
Separate from Him.

All you men are sinners,
Worshiping the world,
Killing to be winners
Of the swineherd's pearls.
Every prophecy
Will come true in the end.
Every rising sea
Will drown the man whose knees won't bend.

You know you know
You live in sin.
You cast yourself below,
Separate from Him.

Time is running out now.
Prepare now for the storm.
Hear the distant sound now,
Calling you to be reborn.

You know you know
You live in sin.
You cast yourself below
Separate from Him.
