Not a Poem

Each Poem aims to embody a truth
Every example of Rhetoric only aims to persuade, to triumph, to decieve
Poetry is too pacifistic, too gentle, too honest to have a goal, to change the world, to pierce a shell
Because when has a truth, something you know, ever been as important to you as something you BELIEVE?
The truth never set anyone free; it cannot break the cage of belief, and that's the truth.
Not that you should care. You already know Everything              that you know.
Sorry, this is not a poem. It has a point

poetry is in the eye of the reader, you are granted poetic liscense to persue it how you feel warrented. I like this. it shows that you think outside the box.
