Agony

AGONY



Agonizing wisdom
giving way to a naïve mind
descending knowledge
formed from twisted lies
truth seeks a willing target
the tongue scorned by the message
impermissible values
forcing a hand in deviant perspective

Often the least said the better. Especially when thinking about agony. Truth certainly does seek a willing target and there are plenty of those to be had.

Your writing is very good, deeply meaningful with an air of mystery. Nothing agonising about that!

The last line of this poem holds the most powerful meaning. It is amusing to see how deviants are deflected to a different path.
Well done xx

Aw yes a short poem ;) overall message clear and somehow you must be gifted because you managed to get both dots over the i!! (I so forget what they're called)

some poetry requires a shot of something for extra kick, not needed here. Well maybe a whiskey sour. but still I enjoyed it.

I was just about to write "Something are better left unknown," but then I looked at Cathy Wattam's review, and I think I'll just concur with her. The reviewees have said the things I wanted; so I'll leave you with this: With agony comes healing.

Wisdom can lead us into a good places. Lies can make any truth fade away to memory. I dislike liars and people who can tell the different between a lie or the truth. I like the closing lines. Thank you for the excellent poem.
