Time destroys it
Voices change it
It varies from person to person
It’s manipulated every day

Something so delicate
So frustrating
So untrue
Without it, we couldn’t survive

Destroyed by time-

Over time it fades
With or without visiting it again
One day it’s there and the next
It never seems to have existed

Changed by voices-

They can only change the abstract
Nothing at all concrete
Hardly ever for the better
Almost always for the worst

Varied between people-

For one person it’s one way
For the next it’s another
As they spread their versions
They create a million others

Manipulated every day-

To help themselves or help a friend
Or just to mess with minds
It’s twisted and it’s changed
In each and every way

It really is a fragile thing
And should be treated with care
It’s hardly ever reliable
And never lasts that long

So that it is not destroyed
It must be recorded

So that it is not changed
It must be set in stone

Something so delicate
So frustrating,
So untrue
Without it we couldn’t survive
