THE TRUTH, THE PLAIN TRUTH.

There's doubtless beauty in plain truth,
gold spun above the stars own roof,
serving thus, make false words uncouth
embroiders a web of conceit by guile aloof;
Truth bows not down to manipulated lies,
't'is but pen scribed by timeless poetic laws,
the stoic heart, straight of limb applies,
antique written, unblemished, without flaws,
yet by pomposity, oft called naive simplicity,
truth, dignifies love for man's common good,
nurturing, fond realms of true brotherhood,
illustrates well, virtues jewel woven integrity,

Truth's own truth, sacred, undeniable,
free life's shackles by love unimpeachable.

Hello Bill, Once again my grateful thanks for your positive comment, I think that it"s true we need more honesty and less guile, especially from our elected representatives, but that's wishful thinking.

Deep and undeniably a masterpiece Phil. Keep them coming.
The truth laid out as is is an understatement to say the least.

But beauty expressed in all simplicity is AZ true as we can bare.

Thanks Phil for the share.

That's something that I was brought up to believe. My Mom always gave it straight to everyone whether they wanted to hear it or not. She told the truth to their face and they respected her for it and people said they always knew whether they stood with her.

That is a very important quality I look for in a friend. Your relatives you can't do anything about. But to be my friend, honesty and truthfulness is a requirement! daisy

Enjoyed your poem - thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed this Phil, although sometimes the truth is best to stay hidden, but it is rare, leas can only produce more lies.

Hello Rob, Thanks for reading and your comment, you are of course right in saying that lies compound lies, lies are somewhat eternal whilst the truth although sometimes painful, the pain is short lived.

Cheers, Phil.wine
