Truth Glasses

I wish we had truth glasses Which would enable one to see another’s truth or lies Face to face and with every other type of communication All mistruths and deceptions no longer disguised The truth glasses would be brilliant on social media A big bold word of either “ TRUE or LIES” would appear on screen Letting us know who we are honestly dealing with Keeping us all away from predators and the obscene What a difference it would make in our world If all lies were known and only truth reigned free The benefits, positives and peace created would be unimaginable As would the complete chaos and debris!

What if you lose the glasses or don't choose to wear them because they don't flatter you, or sadly can't see because you are blind? The opticians would love your thought-provoking idea. Deb. XX

Love this Deb! I'm sure with all the technology that keeps getting invented. It's only a matter of time before we have something like that. Would definately be the perfect solution to weed out corrupt politicians, although, I suspect they would create a law to ban them. Hope all is well with you my friend :-) xox

I honestly think you have some kind of way of knowing what i feel and think! Lol well this is something i always say, that i wish we had truth glasses, read mind, maybe is the reason why i chose to study what i studied. Social media Is so hard for one to find out whats really real and whats not. Well said! The ending is so profound too! Pleasure reading this. Fave for me

I was just told today too that i am too gullible hahah lol what can i say, i assume the best from everyone, im a capricorn and quite a strong one. I get along with cancers alot and cancers are sensitive although they dont really show that: they have their hermit moments hiding away from all. Ah we do really think alike hey?

Thats so interesting IE….maybe we have similar natures! I think we are both soft hearted and perhaps a little gullible…well in my case “very gullible”Ha! Easy targets for the unkind! What star sign are you…I'm Cancer! Always love your comments IE…..Debx

It is hard to devise such glasses. May be AI can help. The Devil lies, Truth prevails,

Deb, your poetry raises a relevant topic. The Devil's chronic presence seems to be tied to good ideals.

I'd buy a pair of those glasses, mostly because I don't like being mislead. Sometimes I'm a bit too trusting so those glasses would help. I appreciate your creativity and insight here. Have a splendid day, Ms. Deb, hugs, Sara

Lies originate with the Devil. As long as he exists so will they. You make an interesting point

Very true, you've expressed the need for Truths in this world in a very evocative way. I honestly agree, liars and manipulators who pretend to befriend us and then backstab us by poisoning our roots, sigh, these are one of the worst experiences and I will never know how their consciences allow them to do so.. A world with Truth glasses will be of infinite help!

Deb M
Date: 12/4/2023 7:14:00 AM

Hear Hear Hiya! Im shocked at the lies some blatantly tell in this world! Thankyou…Debx
