Oblivion

  When truth becomes a dying star
  and lies shine brightly as the sun
 That means we have lost the way
 as webs of deceit  are spun 

 Some remain in oblivion
 and continue to cling to the lie
 Others embrace the truth
 Using its armor to fortify

 The light  of truth continues to dim
 As the truth many flout
 But what will we do
 When the light of truth goes out?

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/7/2024 9:19:00 AM Very profound thinking done with some nice metaphors, Joseph. This is a very interesting look at oblivion. Right now half my country is asleep. I guess ignorance is bliss and oblivion sits right next to ignorance. Login to Reply

Sotto Poet Date: 1/7/2024 7:23:00 AM Joseph, your poem is beautifully crafted. It is unfortunate that in today's world, falsehoods are more widely accepted while the truth is obscured or, worse, met with disdain. A fave for its deepness Login to Reply

Ink Empress Date: 1/7/2024 6:51:00 AM Good question and such a profound write. Today we seem to see this alot, lies seem to sell better and truth remains a mystery, or rather frowned upon. And i love that opening line “ when truth becomes a dying star” soul hitting! I love this! A fave for me it is. Best wishes for the contest Login to Reply
