    Poem Commentary

    A poem about our political situation.

    TRUTH

    TRUTH

    What does this word mean to you?

    We teach our children to tell the truth

    But in reality we fail to set the example

    The only certainty is that transparency

    Does not exist in all things

    It only exist in those things we choose to make transparent

    The reality is truth has many meanings and like life

    The only certainty in life… is that the truth will not always be told

    So I ask you what happened to the honesty, dedication and loyalty

    Once displayed for all to see

    The loyalty was replaced by dishonesty

    The dedication was replaced by deception

    If you want to restore veracity to we the people

    You must start with the truth

    Anything short of the truth will be a disservice to our children

    And the community you took an oath to serve

    Tell the truth and the truth will set you free

    Thank you! I try to teach my sons this lesson but often people lose sight of he truth in there dreams of power and money. When all it really takes is to say I love you honey! Thats a truth I would love to hear again.

    "Tell the truth and the truth will set you free" This one very true.. But sometimes, why do people find it difficult to tell the truth...Maybe its only human nature...

    I am a person who sometimes speak too much truth and gets me in trouble,but I tach my son's telling the truth is always the best option. To day some adults don't follow the same principles.

    Thank you...The words just came to me at 2:00am and I awoke to write them down.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
