poetry the lost art of telling truth

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
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
