Dietician vs Mortician
The divide between them’s
not wide
Both deal with cold cuts
One serves ‘em,
the other preserves ‘em
I have a friend who is a retired elected official.
Like me, he has strong and abiding principles.
Most of our interaction is about three themes.
I have observed that on two of three fronts,
We are unified and on the same page.
In religion, we believe much the same.
In finance, we are both conservatives.
But in politics, we are worlds apart.
In a conversation recently, the subject
of leadership entered our discussion.
At first, we were opposed in our opinion
about a certain person being a leader.
We finally agreed that the person in question
was indeed a leader. However, we disagreed with
the good or bad parts. My friend felt that he was a bad
leader. I thought he was a good leader by comparison.

A Profound Achievement
a profound achievement
feeds the soul with enduring fruits
of its endeavor- but how soon
emptiness gnaws- when just
ephemeral praise is devoured.

Judgments are often made without
The benefit of facts.
They rarely ever look beneath
The surface of the acts.
While truth reflects the facts alone,
It sees into the soul.
It is the only thing that knows
Our motives and our goals.
Any verdict passed by the truth,
Will be what we deserve.
There is not a thought or action,
The truth does not observe.
And that’s the glaring difference
Between judgment and truth.
To find the logic in my words
One need not be a sleuth.
For truth is unimpeachable,
There's nothing to refute.
No detail escapes its notice,
No facts we can dispute.
The sins that we commit in life
Will always leave a scar.
If the truth makes you feel guilty...
Then you probably are.
Twins, entrapped in purity of essence,
The woman and the vista;
She, for all the world, is real,
The other cast interpretive.
Models of implicit quintessence,
The painting and the sister;
She, to be so bold, can feel,
The other felt intuitive.
Beauty slaved in delicate pairing,
The female and the prospect;
She, embodying existence,
The other forced reflective.
Each a fundamental bearing,
Yet singular in aspect;
Apart, yet close in distance,
Duet, the splendour comparative.
