*The root of truth*


The root of the truth hides in the truth of our root. We see the pros in our cons and share the cons in our pros. A fatherless son now turns a sonless father. Our culture may seem cultured but our culture may neglect the cultured. Eyes see the light of pasts but our pasts never shed light. Darkness enshroud visions, visions we foresee in the dark. A mother like no other may become a killer like no other, of husbands Lies nestle comfortably within some truths, for your truth might itself be a lie Our end begins a chapter, a chapter that begins awaiting its end We take the right step with the wrong foot for what is left might not be right Answers we seek hidden in sight, blind we are With our all-seeing eyes. ©Acousticwrites 2025
