The Face Of Truth

Faces may hide, the truth shall never go away,
No veil of lies can cover the light of right.
Gold can gloat but darkness gets in,
Because inside, the spirit shows its true power.

Evil, masked in false smiles, spreads its vilest odor,
And every bend in the road goodness has a mask.
Where accusations vent innocence is lost,
But lies can’t endure in dark shadows they protect.

A sifting breeze will shed the rest of everything,
Show their faces that used to live in the dark
Sleeper in the warren of the heart and whatever lies,
Truth will leave its imprint irrespective of the timelines.
So fear not

"This poem shows the deep difference between truth and lie. The face of reality is never hidden, even if people wear masks of lies. Time reveals everything and truth is never hidden in darkness. What the poem reminds us is to keep faith in our truth, because the light of truth always wins. The display of lies can never last long, because the truth finds its own path. In life, those who believe in their own truth, they illuminate their own paths with the light of truth. "
