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....
