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

Casarah Nance Date: 6/4/2014 5:53:00 PM 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 :) Login to Reply Kenneth Alexander Date: 6/8/2014 2:17:00 PM 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?"
