Sagacity

Sagacity Pulled from the beating heart This quick agony Spells For what wrong thought to be Became so easily Right So right the languid exponent Of ready truth Knew With the arrogance of comprehension Gave its struggle Righteousness And in the pity of hindsight Woke consciousness to Regret For what right thought to be Became so easily Wrong

Colin welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missed you my friend. I hope you and your son had a great christmas and New year full of safety and prosperity. You read Hidden Behind The Veil and your comment amazed me you were one of the few that understood that poem. She was aterroist from the begining going to blow up people in a wedding. It was a true storythat happened in Israel. I wanted to make the reader think she was getting married and inthe end you find the truth. YOU GOT IT COLIN....
