Truth machines we humans are.. Ever rumaging through life's yardsale of meanings seeking some validation of our self worth In the pouring rain we thumb through threadbare platitudes cited by those who have gone before us and for a quarter there's a carrot on a stick for evey lustful sensibility Yet, the machine cannot stop as natures stupendous anomaly of the me seeking me perhaps has its roots in some devils trick We are a species of disembodied spirits searching for a body with legs that we may walk to the throne of our own Godhood If we are one of another we will not have it..little gods without a sceptre is second class diety The truth of all trues must be handed us with mathematical precision We will not be denied the ultimate.. Yet as we scrounge around like worms burning on a hot sidewalk the still small voice of our creator whispers within the confines of our hubris Have I not shared my power with you, and have I not given you all things? 'For who but the crown of my creation could think such thought's as thee?'
It does feel at times we are worms burning on the sidewalk. That is the striving of the human spirit. The ability to take a chance, even if it means the possibility of burning on a sidewalk like a worm.

Really enjoyed your poem.
Truth Machines
My late Mother used to say.
To be a Fantastic liar,you have to have a fantastic memory.
Nobody is perfect.
Sooner or later you will trip up.
So always tell the Truth
Nothing or Nobody can catch you out then.
Thank you for sharing as Always
