The Sound of Truth

We have all heard what we wanted to hear
"Truth" that sounds right to our ears

But what wisdom is there within us
To live based on the feeling of our hearts
How many times has instinct let us down
Never to be thought through
Never to be questioned
Say what you really mean
When your ambition calls you
For what use is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?

We speak of fighting to resist this world
But what about the battle within us?
If we have chosen to live against the grain
Then why are we all facing the same way?
There is no difference between us and them
If we all blindly seek truth from sentiments

I think "truth" is something we find, as we go through life (or lifetimes)...

This was written three years ago. I don't know how it has been for you ever since but I hope you are well and striving.Praying brings you closer to yourself as well as the higher power you pray to. Prayer reduces ego and promotes humility. Here at Poetry Corner we lay down our thoughts and feelings. Welcome to this corner. SM

If you want something truly deep. Cerebral. Watch 2006 whiter shade of pale. Starts with orchestra. Don't let that part fool you. Hear the entirety and let me know what you think. I ponder string theory and multiversity if that lets you know about my mind. Also a retired army combat medic.heart1
