The Truth

the truth is a power stronger than stone it last forever once it's known the truth is living and never ever dies no matter the deception or how many lies the truth is painful but sometimes a joy something to keep something to avoid sences detect ears are annoid a constant threat to the eyes it destroys pledges when it decides it doesn't pity those that denigh it stands still allthough it's defied inescapable you cannot run away for a while it may be hidden but it can only be delayed at the speed of justice and vengence the truth is on it's way condeming the guilty with it's terrible plauge no one is above the law writen or unwriten things that conceil the truth most surely are forbiden a display of thunder and enlightenment wielding deadly power weather for good or evil it can kill or grant desires

A very insightful poem about the truth. Truth and honesty and above the law is the way to go. Like this one has much thought put into it. love phyl

The words of this poem convey a feeling that resonates with me--the immutability of truth that most deny, preferring to compose rationale of their own, puzzled out while listening to their ears ring, sitting in the tub. Such as this is evanescent, quickly dispersed in reality's unflinching face.

Who can know the truth? Even Jesus had his doubts. The purveyor of truth is our belief systems. Each is interpreted differently by his/her ideas of truth. Allan

There is only one truth and only One who knows it.

Pss., Hi John, Hope You Are Doing Well This Beautiful Day. Wanted To Pass Back By Your 'Truth's' Painting As Reply Unto Your Kind Visit And Com Earlier ? Smiling At Pilot Beyound The Veil Saying, Know Ye Not That I Could Summon Legions Of Heavenly Holy Angels Within A Breath * Doesn't This Make One's Spirit Stir Deeply, Such Beauty ˜ I Love You Brother And Have A Wonderful Day, Love, John

† What Is Truth ? Pilate Asked, His Prince Of Peace ˜ The Governor Must Have Missed 'The Light' In This That The 'Truth' Shall Make You Free. Good Morning My Dear Old Priceless Friend And Free From What One May Ask ? 'His Beauty's Emancipation Proclamation * Divinity, Held Forth This Crimson Rose, While Teary Eyes Gazed Humble Hearts Broken Spirits Hushed The Silent Crowd ˜ 'Creations King' A Kiss As Into Her Wind Love's Petals Flew Heaven's Angels, Rejoiced While Mercy Embraced, 'His Babies' ˜ Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, And Scarlet Became Illuminated Of White Robes: 'Free At Last.' Beautiful Painting In Profound May The Truth, Be 'Love's Banner,' Forevermore ˜ Thank You For Your Wonderful Visit Bother, Love, John

Read this one backwards John, it appears you have already written a reverse poem. This is good in either direction!
