Truth Of Wrongs


the living weight
of a meaningless phrase
repeated one too many times
forms a truth of wrongs
unable to turn right

    especially sad that lies sometimes even lack a purpose... and truth comes from repetition... that stings.

    This is profound, Kathryn. Sometimes meaningless phrases end up having a life of their own.

    Amazing illustration, and your words are as compressed as a diamond, a strong and shaking thought in that 'truth of wrongs...' there seem to be a lot of those out there just now.

    My kind of poem. Creative compression, an impressive twist of words that echo long after the poem.

    A great poem, so powerful in its simplicity. The photo really holds the idea well.

    there is an excellent piece of wisdom in this. a lesson worth holding onto. the idea that there is no reconciliation in untruthful words meant to deceive.
