Truth de-constructed.
lossnaturetimeidentitymortality
Truth de-constructed.
There is so little truth.
What is agreed today
Will be challenged
Tomorrow.
Honesty is measured
In small cups,
Meaning, a buried treasure,
A seam to be mined
By eager prospectors
In search of gold.
The occasional nugget
A find
To make the sifting
Worthwhile.
Nothing is a given,
When pain
Is recast as glory.
And survival,
Peddled as victory
For the spirit,
Over adversity.
The winner
May write the story
But tomorrow
Is another day
And knowledge gained,
Will be lost
Between lines
Designed to lead
To nothing but conclusions.
When all that has been
Constructed,
Is an opportunity
To learn
How to swim,
In an ocean
Of possibility.
