Honesty

To say you have been honest
with every moment in your life,
to claim you treasure utmost
the plight of earthly might,
it's strange to have possession
of such a matter pure,
you cannot place a meaning
to the statement of your words.

The psycho-absurdist ways
that you invent so easily these days,
to mock your fellow humans,
with folly's royal praise,
they must all disintegrate forever,
they should be put to death.

If your sentiments afloat in chaos,
overwhelmed by the diffusion of deception,
handed out in these misguided ways,
wherefore can you say, then,
that life has chosen to convey perfection
in the twilight of your 'spiritual' bay?...

In every sense of your existence,
it is not plain to say,
that all the feelings in the darkeness
align themselves in an idealized way.

Forsake the wounding lies
that you have sprinkled generously
on the path of life,
overwhelmingly against all other souls.
Extinguish evil cries of cruelty,
put fourth to underline your worth.
Go on and tell the truth exceedingly,
despite your knowledge of the profound hurt.

An honest moment
can reach the portal of every man,
and this is all one owes to humanity
in these exasperating, desolate days....

Very well written, containing deep thoughts. Honesty seems to escape most humans along the path of life. And it always has consequences on others...........your ending speaks volumes.

Thought provoking. Rich in detail. Passionate. Fierce.
Above all honest...
How we mock our fellow man. Tease him, betray him, lie to him, destroy him.
How we praise ourselves for being better, stronger, faster, swifter.
So many lies, all told to better ourselves, to lie to ourselves, to seal ourselves away from our own neighbors.
This is rich and poignant. Your words are uttered true. No pretense. No lie.
Powerful.
Brava!

Beautiful and fierce... It is hard to find anyone willing to be honest even with himself or herself these days. We are so often merely a facade of ourselves. Well done!

[Rob Welch , Master Of P..]

Nice. I agree completely. Sometimes it hard to be honest when you know it'll hurt the ones you care about but it's good to do it anyways. Excellent write. Keep up the great work!

[Conspiration Libre D'es..]

totally agree with your sentiments - yeah, am being honest here! Very well written - I'm jealous!

[G. Cedillo]

great measure and flow in this, tight lines really felt like they were scoured with a fine tooth comb - edited and re-edited - this really is a precise work, and the message conveys it
i don't know if anyone can say that life has "chosen to convey perfection" but that certainly is the poet's endeavor isn't it?
i think so, and, i think you proved it here --
keep writing and i'll keep reading.

Honesty is dying for sure! In both men AND women. I'm pleased to see you write about it. You did a great job with the flow and your word choice is excellent!


A great read!
