The Truth Shall Set Us Free

This is a poem I wrote an the opening to the chapter of a book I am writing.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

 

Bludgeoned

Splattered by the stain

Only we see the backdrop falling so gracefully

Plastic and pretentious

Portraying deception

Rises like smoke

Blood tainted by lies and compromise

We stand facing the sky

Slowing kneeling

Descending

Depths fallen asunder

We all kneel there alone

Yet………..together

We kneel there

The sacrificial price of sin

Transgressions stain our lives……remain

The dramatization set before us

We are there……………yet nowhere

Lost in the infusion

Lost

A camera could not capture the deception or illusion

Lost

We fade into the distant horizon

Lost like an illusion

Our grasp fades

No time for compulsion

Our illusion ………..our souls can only measure the confusion

Not time nor weight nor motion could stop the potential perpetual descending

Loss has no justice

The weights of justice are no longer in balance

We turn and look back

Looking Back

It’s a fact

Lights are black

Shed some light

Even………………..in the night

Shackled we may be

If only we could see what is true

  We would believe

Let the truth set us free.
