"...that old metaphysical mambo"


Poem Artwork

"What is Truth?"

Pontius Pilate asked "What is truth?" as
Everyone else before and after has

And whether or not he got his answer
Depends on your technique as a dancer
Of that old metaphysical mambo
That balancing act between light and heat
Which comes to a boil and threatens to blow
As regular people die in the street

I bet my life on Pilate's prisoner
But "truth" be told I wish I never were
I trust He was right and his Pilate light
Was on
But I might lose my sight before this night
Is gone

(That is if this night ever goes away)
Where "What is truth?" smolders in shades of grey:

Kyrie eleison

Those who say without flinching that they have always known the truth make me the most nervous. Those of us who always question are the ones who are most likely to find it...

Dear Steven . . .

An ingenious and clever way to intimate Christ Jesus as the Creator and Lord. The smoldering shades of greys, as you put it, will be there for some time still, but I believe it will soon be giving way to the black and white, figuratively speaking, of those who believe and those who deceive.

The lines are now being drawn! One wonders if, at his wretched demise, Pontius Pilate chose to believe?

In poetic vision
Richard
