The Truth of the Matter

The Truth of the Matter By Kenneth Alexander The writer within Pen & paper at hand Read like a spy The truth of the matter Sadder Than expected Love and hate Hand in hand Truth of the matter Known and accepted Here today Bribes of sway Gone tomorrow Truth of the matter Lies speaks louder

Very interesting thoughts, I think the same when i go to write, creeping through the voices in my head, trying to figure out all the emotions, all the stories, all the ideas, I don't know if that was your intention, but that is how I took your words, you dancing through the chaos searching for the truth. oh btw welcome to the soup :)

Hello, Casarah, your are correct; sitting, waiting for the inspiration to come--all those (worldly) issues keep flowing and I say, well, why not get it out it , too, on paper. "Pessimism anyone?"
