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

The truth will set us free or bind us to our faults. Either way, it's a constant reminder of who we are. Great write Arthur.

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.

We seem to lack real leaders these days, very sad.

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.
