White and Other Lies

Lies, white lies, half-truths, exaggerations, omissions How do you make sense of them all Bottom line - how important is it really to you and why We are all truth seekers in our own right And though we have our different perspectives What matters most is that we are responsible For our own truths and truth seeking We navigate our own effervescent soul Though some lies affect us deeply It’s not up to us to be judge and jury At the end of the line We all have to answer to our Creator Life and writing poetry has taught me To pay more attention to my own inner journey And allow others the freedom of their own So live and let live Allow everyone to learn at their pace Your truth and truth seeking belongs to you AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on June 8, 2018 for contest ACTIVE SOUL AND MANKIND'S RIGHTEOUSNESS sponsored by CATIE LINDSEY - RANKED 3RD

I really like this message, Line. And I agree with you all the way. We need to 'get ourselves right' first, foremost, and last. If we do so, we'll automatically 'live and let live.' Excellent poem! Congrats on your trophy win! :) Gerson
