Point of View Or Truth

Point of View or Truth?
What is your view of politics? I'm sad, but dream there's more, though politics says rhythm's plague, rhyme's rotten to the core, and hope seems lost that world's worth spit! Can Right say Left is wrong? Though snowflakes have their differences, what's True sings Nature's song. Weak fashions trend and folks mature, but Truth ignores demand! Truth's face may blanch (cracked shells line beach), but history's the sand whose grains on earth outnumber stars in Milky Way's facade, and ocean waves (1) grind finer still (while politics claims God). Yes, Truth exists beyond the pale of what we dream is true, its harmonies acknowledge God in all we say and do. Do fascist friendly risk Hell's Fire who label Truth fake news, conspire to earn more pain on earth, in civil court venues? Krakatoa Kritic #007 March 16, 2021 I have so many friends these days who want to believe that all Truth is simply one's point of view, especially political Truth, that what they want to think is as good as what anyone else thinks. So, to engage in debate is foolish! They also suggest that those who disagree with them are only attached to being right (and making them wrong)! That could be right, but what if their beliefs are flawed? How should one who hopes for Grace behave? Let me have the courage to confront a friend's perceived weakness with as much love as I can muster. (1) "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of Truth lay all undiscovered before me." Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

Gutsy write. Literally your poem makes more sense than the political joke we have today called politics where finger pointing and dirt digging has become more important than honesty. Keep writing !!!

Your last line points the way, albeit bumpy, especially if that opponent is a family member.
