Notes About The Poem

The Harsh Reality of Truth

(“Eye of God”, 2018, original encaustic mixed media)

The Harsh Reality of Truth

The harsh reality 
Is people get what they deserve,
But it can be confusing
‘Cause you don’t always know
If it was for something you know you’ve done
Of something you did long ago
In a different life, body, time and place.

In the end
Sooner or later
The equation of Life
Works its way out, balances itself
And delivers the perfect result.

Not always perfect to us 
But perfect for us.
