Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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?

Sara Kendrick January 9, 2024 at 2:23 AM We will have nothing to guide us in our way and we will all be lost in this vast universe. Thanks for sharing your truth with us and dropping by my page. Sara K

Brandy Nicole January 7, 2024 at 5:11 PM Even though darkness and deceit have the front seat, truth will always be at the wheel. God is in control. Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

Andrea Dietrich January 7, 2024 at 9:19 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.

Sotto Poet January 7, 2024 at 7:23 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

Ink Empress January 7, 2024 at 6:51 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
