NATURE OF TRUTH : Part 2

[ Poet’s Note :  This is the second of two poems personifying Truth ]

NATURE OF TRUTH : Part Two 

Truth shot point blank through
the centre of her forehead 
blood spurting, soiling fine furs of 
humanoids at play with slick lies 
and shallow Hansard words
trying to acupuncture Truth

Blood that stains and weeps and 
                                   weeps
blood that runs and will not hide
Truth collapsing in a heap in a corner
                                   rise up again ! 
pulled firmly by the hair with wide 
                                      open fingers
Truth rise and rise and rise

dance with Courage
find amethysts in hard hearts of fear
cradle them to Moon for blessing 
connect with fluffy clouds where little 
girls see God

Truth !  be washed by midnight rain
plait yourself softly with invisible links
where choralists sing falsettos in 
unbroken voices

Truth then waltzes with Love
women with baby curls taste 
                                       hot bread

Truth springs up again and again 
She rises from oceans and 
mountains forever and ever

Right here !
