Poem
A golden coin flipped into the sky One side is absolute truth the other side is stamped with lies Hope it lands right/wrong side up so you can partially realize the truth doesn’t always set you free Sometimes deception leads to wise Neither side exists without the other Truth and lies are Siamese brothers Born of necessities yet neither of them has a mother Look up look down all things can offend and bother Absolute truth or filthy clean lies there are so many things that they Father We are temporary our purpose is significant fodder so through our inequities we wander Spin the coin the image you will see is the blending of who we think we might be Witness our insanity by looking back at lying throughout history Yet there is truth hidden flickering within the spin start over finish once more begin Words alone can’t set us free Centrifugal force thinking trapped inside each possibility Rooted in our impure paternity Watch how friends become the enemy Perspectives changing depending on adversity Truthfully can anyone know who they are meant to be Rise up or see life on bended knee What is it that words hope inspire A coin can only be destroyed by fire Live life find what you desire We’re all tethered together by a hidden wire Truth or a lie lower and higher Kind or cruel or self loathing despiser We’re born of muck and mire Aspire to be a flyer or maybe just a consumed buyer Still all energy will eventually expire do it all before you tire Tell the absolute truth or if you choose be a liar! 06/25/2018 Submitted to Brenda Chiri's Abandon Poetry Contest.
