Susan Gentry Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Truth

Absolute Truth

absolute truth is
right or wrong - no exceptions
and never changes

absolute truth is
true for you and true for me
and never changes

absolute truth is
basis for a moral world
and never changes


Judgment

you ask I not judge
when you have judged that I have
I judge your actions
to be either right or wrong
judge not who you are

eternal judgment
will be on last day by a
holy and just God


Lies

vocal or silent
a lie intends to deceive
no truth in lying
hypocrisy is a lie
in deed rather than in words

if I disagree
you perceive intolerance
you feel offended
perception does not mean truth
feelings are not always real

Kim Rodrigues June 28, 2018 at 8:45 AM Yes, truth is hard for many to understand. As Pilate asks “What is truth.” John 18:38. Many I feel try for the old “Jedi mind tricks” as if what they say we must believe. Love your write! Susan Gentry June 28, 2018 at 12:58 PM Thanks, Kim!
