 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759
We speak of truth...


We speak of truth as though it is ours only to master
as we learn to weave more lies into the fabric of our lives
till our truth is the only truth and with each truth…
another lie is born.
We claim freedom of thought as motivation for war and mayhem
as we teach others their right to fight and die for freedom
till our fight is the only fight and with each fight…
another war is born.
We look for love as though love will be ours for the asking
as each day we vent more anger on those we do not love
till our love is the only love and with each love…
another child is born…
