Truth (Revised)

My brain is a drain
For knowledge, like rain,
Which pours down the spout
And tumbles right out.

My mind is a sponge, encrusted with grunge.
The leftover scum of a brainwash.
When truth inundates, a bit penetrates
And the sponge get's a little bit larger.
As insight seeps in, I finally begin
To fill with the wisdom of faith.
My psyche is clear, no traces of fear,
All the filth and pollution are gone.

My soul is a bowl
For love and it's full.
It sloshes about
And splashes right out.

Darrin, What an amazing way to describe how and why truth is so absolutely necessary and how lies are a form of brain-washing. I enjoyed it immensely! Lay
