Poem -
Truth?…
Truth…
Sits between
splintered tongues
Heckling torrential songs
Raining
a pessimistic
parasitical
perilous
trail
of contentious thoughts
Forming a fog to rise
Clouding eyes
that once bathed in blue
Now forced into shadows
Where no light can claim its space
Nor warm a hardened face
The truth?…
Currently
a correlated
insidious
unrelenting
facade
To push life hard
into an early grave
Made like a cocktail
to poison the soul
Burrowing deep
like a septic mole
Suppressing the will
inside each heart
To ‘softly’ tear us all apart
Whilst the truest of truths
Remains unseen
Beneath the rubble…
of a man-made dream

Thanks JP, I hope you’re right my friend. We need some sane for sure. Thanks so much for reading x
At the end of the day its not really a lot to ask for is it .. I dunno why it's so hard to come by though ..
Maybe like fake news, lies have become so widespread and so common that they have become the new truth, or summat .. Without doubt tho' both a compelling and intriguing postulation x
You are so right Nev, there seems to be a normality forming towards total nonsense and it’s a worry really. Especially when the planet is effected. Thanks for reading my friend x

Hi, Gwen, all to true - the truth we think we know may be the biggest lie to ourselves, while deep down the real truth truly drives us onwards to Life and World... Well done.
