oh root of truth
in the minds of the culprits
spread out like a cancer grows
dig into these lawless entities
and wait for whom the bell will toll
slither around the heartless bodies
and squeeze outtheir unscrupulous souls
than claw your way out
don’t withhold
make it hurt
truth be told!

"To thine own self be true", the poets say with little regard to any further extensions.
I digress; The greater the Truth, the greater the sacrifice.

You provide much manna for thought in your writing shalisadefa. It appears the "root" has taken to the virgin soil and evolved into the shape of a tree. I know. I did well with Rorschach.

You will be an asset here no doubt.


Au Revoir

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Enjoyed reading this, very thought provoking, especially in the trunk of the tree. I think truth is just truth what people choose to do with it internally or externally, regret, atonement, justice vengeance, is different.
Thanks

Well done! Love the tree. Appreciate your "show no mercy" attitude concerning the truth. ~L

I am so much enjoying all the different entries here on pip, reading into the night, that I forgot to thank you for taking time to comment.

Living in a country with a history of political murders, the families of the deceased are aching for the truth to emerge, whether it will set them free or not.
