Truth is
A slippery beast
Slave to perception
Minus perception’s laces
It’s dangerous
To seek
Will it
Set you free or
Kill you first
Some may argue
That truth
Is the key, but
Truth is
More than the
Pathway to freedom
It is
The backdoor
Home to power
Be wary of
Those who would
Subtract
The truth
And substitute
Their own reality
That
In turn becomes
The new and only truth

Did you write this? It's very good. Truth is something this administration seems to have liberated and driven away.
PoP - thanks for your kind words. Yes, this is my original work. Been teasing it out for a while. i find the best way to test the worth of prose is to post it. See how long it sticks and how many hits it gets.
Blog on.
The truth
And substitute
Their own reality
This is why I refer to Bush as "The Great Confabulator".
Very good stuff there WS!
Good Poem. Regarding them "substitut[ing] their own reality" you hit the nail right on the head. Beware of those who would try to have you believe that physics is a changeable thing, that the law of probability is meaningless and who go out of their way to avoid the all-important question: "Who benefits?"
thanks for the comment and Enlightenment. Follow the money and you shall find the path to who benefits.
