poetry the lost art of telling truth

Post by revolutionR » January 25th, 2017, 5:17 pm

poetry is a way of telling truth
but it does not call itself the truth
it is a way of mirroring what calls
itself the truth

it is using language to find language
as language just exists, words don't
write themselves, if we pretend they do
then we cal say something like
in the beginning was the word

it is at this point that language becomes static
and not fluid, something about being human
needs a poetic art to allow for wonder
where there is no wonder there is only the truth
but what is the truth, is it really truth
or is it the lie

this is the meaning of being human
that we can know one from the other
but in the beginning was the lie
and then the word which was poetry

personal truth is subjective
but also there are facts
that are peer reviewed...
and in the case of Cheetos Face
there are alternative facts
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
