Bill Baker Poet Sonnet

To Know The Truth

Does life to anyone really make sense?
Or is all of mankind, really this dense?
God offers his wisdom and truth to man,
Yet it still seems we seldom understand.

Are we blinded by reason, and logic?
Surely, it’s not genes or biologic?
While meditating on things I don’t know,
It came to me; the culprit is ego.

Its goal is to always self-edify,
Secretly cloaking what’s seen with the eye.
The illusion creates a false belief,
The deception ends up, leading to grief.

To receive God’s truth, just look through his eyes,
To know the truth, just reject ego’s lies.

Paul Bell July 13, 2025 at 11:11 AM I think even God has given up on this lot. The internet has created hell on earth, and become the new false god. Bill Baker July 13, 2025 at 11:18 AM At Times, I have those feelings too Paul. From what I've read and from my personal experience, God always gives a warning and a way out before the punishment comes. Thanks for your visit and comment, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
