Veritas

Why we 
only needed 
tomorrow 
and god gave 
us an eternity 
wondrous gifts 
we shall always 
adorn the simple 
rhythm of life just 
a heart beat away

Veritas

Ivy leaguers smell like turd bits
Near the king’s commode where he s*its
Don should flush elites
Like what he excretes
Including these ass wipes and twits:

Yale University…J.D. Vance
Yale University…Scott Bessent
Yale University…Daniel Driscoll
Harvard University…Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 
Harvard University…John Phelan
Harvard University…Dean John Sauer
Princeton and Harvard…Pete Hegseth
University of Pennsylvania...Tiffany Trump
University of Pennsylvania...Donald Trump Jr. 
University of Pennsylvania...Ivanka Trump
University of Pennsylvania…Elon Musk
University of Pennsylvania…D.J. Trump

Veritas

I noted the stillness
in your hands, the
casual arc of your shoulders,
a deceitful ease in your voice—

as if the world melted into your anima,
your eyes spoke the nether language
(angelicus anima).

I watched your eyes oscillate,
a tidal wave of light,
gleams of individuation
propagating outward,
devastating all disguises—
quiet fissures in the 
careful strata
of us.

Veritas Celat

Truth stays
naïve
As reality
profanes
The price of
fidelity
Unpaid
till inflamed

Truth often
hides
With its head
in the sand
Until forced
into play
A new crisis
— at hand

(The New Room: August, 2024)

Veritas by Max Burchett

by Max Burchett

Hard to know
What is real now.
Who to believe,
Who will deceive.

This is truth
As I know it,
Yet I never say, my truth,
Since surely truth is absolute.

I will say to you.
I believed some lies.
Got pulled in, it’s true.
Could have been my demise.

But I saw the light from a song,
For now through a glass darkly.
Now as I go along,
All said is seen more clearly.

Strange man with the sign
Saying, the end is near,
Maybe not for the world he means,
But for each and everyone.

That I suppose sadly is true.

In Joint Veritas

In joint veritas 
They said
I’m so agreed
Because why not
I mean
The way 
It sounds to me
Or maybe just 
because I’m high

Veritas Rex

Nothing more powerful
than speaking the truth  
Pangs of deception
beguile uncouth  
Spoken immortal
knighted profound
Today and tomorrow
—veracity crowned

When an honest man says nothing
—you forever hear his heart

Mystica Veritas: the Mystical Truth

A mystical illusion
Filled the gaps of time
Transported Innocent Angela to the land where truth resides
Surely a land where fears come to life

Soon the mystery unveils
Melody of a lost piano prevails
Shallow voices against the tainted plane 
“Mystery and Fame once relayed ” it claimed

Far beneath the meadows 
Within the garden of brass 
Lied little Cinderella with her broken shoes of glass 
Longing to go from rags to class

Vincit Omnia Veritas L

Vincit Omnia Veritas L
(Truth conquers all things)
Tom Wright
8/7/2000

From Mom,
I became educated at an early age,
that the axe of truth oft times cut deep.
That chips would fly and scatter where they will,
always affecting others.
That the ultimate payment for every act,
good or bad, would always be consequences.
Better to endure these, whatever they be, for a short time,
than surrender the advantages found in truth forever.
Mom called it being responsible!
I call it being loved!

Veritas

All of which we fictionalize,
Hold far more truth, than we realize.

Veritas Oritur

Millions of words
are brought to a boil
But only the few
—can rise with the truth

(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)

Pax Et Veritas

Our history has known too many wars by far, 
Not one’s gone to oblivion without a scar. 

In a war - other truth, contrived by a wrong man, 
Where in fact there is, clear as crystal, only one. 

The culprit is the power, held in evil hands, 
Obscured by the entitlement to foreign lands. 

Convenient truth then plays in to justify, 
False cause, offering no comfort to those who die.

Among all casualties of war the first to go 
The one and only truth the history will know. 

The only pure and pristine truth worth fighting for - 
All means and measures taken to avert a war.

Veritas Vincit

Veritas Vincit
 the elusive goddess of the mind and soul couplet
a revelation of who we are, what we believe,
 all that we imagine is or should be conceived;
born on the rising of the sun
 holding moon glow in its captivity run
a complex menagerie of starlight within the cosmos dominion,
 universal relinquishing of fictionalized wordings and opinions,
a hope, desirous dream, endless entity of fact from fiction
 formalized false narratives of time and space interval diction;
it struggles, writhes in the turning and tossing window
 foaming ocean waves of misinformation, lie, innuendo
there is no escape of twist or twitch spoof
 squirming, wriggling the pathways of lie and truth
obsessive view in the eye of the beholder's solidarity,
 is there hope, is there the possibility of a new reality
it truly is, as it really exists in a hidden state?
 in the end, history will write what we dictate
someone's vision, another's reality
 the hope and dreams of a future giving life and liberty 
and freedom will take sail
 only if 
  the truth prevails.
