truth

by Kalikala Smith

Who are we to say
that we know where the wind blows
and who are we to say
that we know where it hides.
truth is alive
and we've buried it
like there's nothing left to discover.
truth is alive
and we've pretended
it is ours for the taking.
we have no power
over wind and seas
only god can bring them to their knees.
truth is alive.

soulful and reflective.. I like how you express the idea of the truth being a power in itself and a force beyond control. well done.

this is an interesting piece-- where is the truth? it has been strangled-- great read!
