Silent Deceptions

Truth is always
an exploration of knowledge
we learn, we grow
without empathy and compassion
it all becomes useless

Now the blind see
the deaf hear
the smell of deceit
touches the innocent heart
the taste, burns all hope

Deception
the death of desire

Duke Beaufort Date: 5/15/2024 6:29:00 AM Arthur, I enjoyed reading this and the way you present the downside after the upside in the first two stanzas. Deception...OMG, the real motives of self-interests are somewhat hidden from us and require a lot of analysis to understand. Real leaders have courage to expose that truth.

Sotto Poet Date: 5/14/2024 6:19:00 AM Arthur, you have written an excellent poem about the value of honesty, understanding, and kindness in the quest for knowledge. This shows how lying may annihilate these traits and put an end to desire. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 5/14/2024 11:26:00 PM Thank you for kind words as always.
