EXTRA EXTRA read all about it!
THE FASCINATION FOR TRUTH STILL CONTINUES!
Yes today February 21, 2004 10:20pm pacific standard time
A Los Angeles native made a declaration
That his search for truth of self and life
Continues despite the rainy days of recent.
The 23 year-old Lawrence Smalls writes,
“When I think I know, it seems like I don’t.
And when I don’t know, it seems like it’s right.
Gladly I say then I’ll be wrong again
And accept this avenue to the truth
Because the life I know is but a dream.
Yes that’s all it is.
A dream that I don’t know
Still I fantasize about it
And still I am far from it.
Reached is only my intuition
Instilled upon me through just a bit of learning.
I can only narrow it down
And take the best possible guess
To guess myself between truth and fallacy.
In search of truth
I WILL stumble upon fallacy.
People will confuse me
Actions will deceive me
Decisions will haunt me
And words will be misused.
Sure it may seem that way
Only for a little while.
But like the rainy days that inspire me
I could only be wrong if I didn’t seek the truth.”

Beautiful write.

Wow, that was a stunning piece. It shows how we are influenced by the things that surround us and how we feel guided by those things whether negative or positive that can sometimes sway our perceptions of the truth. Great write!!
