A philosophical take on truth
————

Where We Stand:

truth

the eternal charlatan

notorious chameleon of 

slippery pastures

soothsayer’s elastic spasm

spews gilded promises 

in goblets of gullible gold

culpable, as we are

drunk to the last brim of

lost senses, revel 

in false glory

time

the silent assassin 

eraser of names and dank

deeds alike, meanwhile 

smirks at trophy

moments, prodigal felony of

imagined ego and swallows

brittle bits of fecundity 

in its ravenous womb

in hushed perspective 

silence reigns supreme
