Before the Beginning and After the End

I can't
Visually
Show
This

(can you?)

Perception is lies
This never was true

At one time we knew

But that one time is through
Now show me the truth
Show me what happens
Before the beginning
And after the end
Where nothing made sense
Not even beginning 

Not even the end
Now show me that place
Show me what's true

Not just a story

Made up by some dude's

Show me the truth

Show me what happens

Before the beginning

And after the end

Show me the truth

Show me you can't

Show me the fact's

That it never was true

And we'll never find out

Stuck in our gaps

I loved the line "Now show me the truth
Show me what happens
Before the beginning
And after the end." Tells me with benevolent forces yet less obvious times of trying to find the right uniform for today's accident when purposeful ways are always convincing tomorrow to keep running and never look back, and got this powerful message: We all are like an unknown, or in the case of the poem W.S Merwin Unknown Bird that we are all trying to fit in even though we may be foreign to others. To play on the use of birds we all have a song to sing and you sing beautifully. Keep writing sincerely your friend in poetry and life :)

I loved the way you write!

[Davidgeo]

I forgot about this one. This is objectively good writing. How in the f**k did you find this?

[Pragati Chaudhary]

Hahahaha. Magiccccccccc!

Comm'n I choose to review this from my reviewer!

I'm sitting over here rapping to this one. Great job.

[JM VanZuiden]

Thought-provoking though I would have left out the use of generational slang and the last line felt out-of-place with the rest of it. However, David succeeds with what he intended; getting us to think more objectively about our vision of reality.

It's always a matter of how you view things. But facts are always needed to prove something.
When you can no longer trust, words mean nothing.

What we perceive is unique to each of us. So what is truth at the end of the day? Maybe one man's truth is another's lie.

Maybe another man's lie is why you are seeing what you see? I'm not sure why I see things but, I certainly see them. Pretending to truly know why is why I think Norm Macdonald is the funniest man in the universe.

[Chris Shaw]

I'm going to have to check that name out :)

[Davidgeo]

You'll be happy you did. He's one of the funniest human beings on the planet.

The truth hurts, and more often its hidden for to long. Lovely poem. I love the flow x

[Davidgeo]

I just love it when people tell me I have flow.

Truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction....well written...

[Anne’sRants]

you are asking the right questions David. I sense an urgency in this piece that is more than just technicality from some of your previous writes. I hope you find the answer
