From the cortex chambers ventriliquists speak
with their distant voices probing
the soul's quiet palace.
They demand necessities: Amen -
and forgiveness; they repair despair,
teaching lessons from straw to sticks to bricks.

Yet what sad reality, the acceptance of
the mediating value of lies,
when the truth was never better.
Why is it some disguise body and mind,
until they are forced into the open
exposed by their glib shallow rote?

While, all the voices in the palace,
ventriloquists of inner thought,
remain quantum reminders,
that from the heart, to the great light that fills the sky,
all accept the gift of consciousness - and in the end,
it comes down to the truth of the matter.

I'm sitting here trembling. What a video.

To your poem . . .

"Yet what sad reality, the acceptance of
the mediating value of lies,
when the truth was never better."

Yesssss!

Thank you Jerry.

The truth is hard to take sometimes.
Jeff just told it like it is even though it hurt him to do so.

Most moving video and your words hit where it hurts. Sometimes those outside America can see what Americans do not or will not see so the video was most gratifying.

I believe in the truth - always.

I too believe in the truth. However, Jeff makes some good points in this video especially about the past. Decline hurts everybody.

Wow! Someone with enough guts to tell the truth at last and someone (like you) to recognize it. Stunning video, great poem.

Again you come across.The truth is so hard to face and in our not facing it we lose.It has taken much too long for most of us to realize how far this country has moved off in to the wrong direction. Baby steps at first which were not thought much of so then larger and larger steps and wrong choices led us to where we are today. Thank you for the video and the poem. jo

This is amazing. Truthful. Scary, because I don't know if we can turn it all around. I know we can't without blood in the streets (God I hope that doesn't happen) if Hussein gets another four years. All will be lost then. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for the visit and the comment Jo.
It's kind of like taking a brick out of a house one at a time. It takes a long time but finally the house falls down.

I appreciate the visit.

It is scary Scooter and I too wouldn't want to see blood on the streets. I had to smile at your reference to your present president.
