The Glare of Truth

.

In the haze 
   of lies and doubts
      all that's glinting and prisming
         with mythical, magical light

               is lost, totally subsumed
               in the glare of Truth that,
               with cold, sober clarity,
               illuminates everything 
               hidden there deep,
               deep in the pith of you.
               your greed or generosity,

           your compassion or envy,
        your rage or sympathy - -
    must cast its own shadow,
be it noble or downright low.
