Light of the World

The truth, "is the light of the world," so I've heard and experienced.


Poem Artwork

For some,
facing the truth,
can be worse than
pulling a tooth.
Before I faced
my own,
I kept burying it
like a dogs bone.
Every now and then,
I'd uncover it again.


I never chased
it quick,
avoidance was
the trick.
Finally it came
full bloom,
I never ran from
the gloom,
stood strong
in the room.
Facing up really
wasn't that bad,
getting use to
it at times sad.


Truth may be the
light of the world,
but knowing it can
send you on swirl.
Conscious makes
a good guide,
but it may still
want to hide.
A world
of fantasy,
may keep one
in ectasy.
I know quite a few,
who want face up.
They seem happy,
walking around
corrupt.


G

Wise and powerful words from a naturally altruistic spirit gliding on wings of redemptive creativity and empowering inspiration. Thank you for articulating an insight that many, as you point out, often prefer to avoid. Peace.

I would rather face the truth as a life long liar than go to a dentist and everytime I do bury my bones, Rufuz digs them up...;) Ed & Rufuz (w00f)

Wisdom in sir G's den! Ilove truth, but one of the problems with it is that many people can never be convinced you are telling it. I always figure it's because they don't know how to.;-)
great writeG.
