If truth be told
I will yet reach,
A vision worthy
Cosmos entreats,
Not bent chicane
Of vitiate deceit,
Yet who’s to say
Man didn’t teach,
The gods sly ways,
Thus so to breach,
How then discern
Of which I speak,
Thus be held truth
Or but failed preach,
Too credible to hold
Tho history has one doubt,
Of man’s hidden truth be told!
this poem was inspired by the poem ‘Truth’
written by Xenophanes,
Greek philosopher, theologian and poet.
There’s a smile
On his face,
Tho for a while
He’ll embrace,
Gathered years
Of delusory state,
His abstruse façade
Holds stuff of tears,
Thus he feigns glad
No one can hear,
What surges inside
He’ll fancy hide,
By imaging wise,
To cover sorrow
Until it subsides,
As causes held wide
Wants trick reality,
With smile that disguises!
