The agony of truth

The agony of truth

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

Deep inside of heart lies the truth about our lives

"

Tempted and tried we often wander,
How life has given us agonizing pains,
Raging war on every unconquered shore,
Unquenched flame burning a fire within,

Agony of truth is bright with bewildered glow,
Tattered lives mirror the inevitable existence,
Of hopeless demise into confuse sorrow,
Pushing emotions to the edge of tolerance.

Through sapping energy the sweat descend,
Fire purge the heart consume with agonised flames,
A void separating the language of friends,
A birth with blistering tragedy hope begins.

Detoxify poison in the body driven to the core,
People try every way to avoid temptation,
Suffocating beneath the consequences implore,
Enflame conscience is a lively fire within.

Burning flames take earth out of control,
torment every person's future in purgatory,
Spirits fight to capture the tormented soul,
Walking the timeless realms into eternity.

The rhapsody of agony encamp in the heart
The light of happiness waiting at the door
To unveil the agonising truth will impart
With many more choices to discover

Perfection is a characteristic which we all seek after, yet shall never attain ... We each live and breathe in an imperfect world that is almost perfect through nature, but even nature has its imperfections, its inconsistencies, its inexplicable unexplainable oddities that simply say nothing in this existence is perfect, even though we may choose to see it as such, or so ... How could a Perfect Creator create an imperfect universe that surrounds us, and of which we are a part? ... The answer is not so difficult when one considers that to create a perfect universe, without conflict, without chaos, would be to create the perfection that He, Himself, IS, and that would not be Creation, but Replication ... Of Perfection ...
