Truth is delusion
the ocean did roar
undeviating its regal
splendour.
Today the sea was
in a good mood
rowing; a pleasure
we moored at the
fabled Isle of truth.
Truth quickly came to us
we gave our excuses and
swiftly rowed back to the shore.

Who will face the truth?
I think many run from the truth too.
Love your wit my friend!

The ocean had heartburn!
Delusion aye?
An erroneous belief that
is held in the face of evidence
to the contrary?
Shall we gather at the river?
Piss on the ocean!
