Truth

He scratched his arse
And burped
I rolled my eyes
And slurred
What is the truth?
He stooped to look
Smirked in his dishevelled shirt
For he could not on Earth
Fathom why I brood
About such a thing as truth

I like this because it reminds me of my nation's current descent into hell for which we might not return from. I feel like you do searching and responding to truth while they arse-scratcher is the one who voted for the current leader of my country. A great write for sure.

Kate, I love how this makes the search for truth feel both ridiculous and profound..sometimes life’s deepest questions meet the most ordinary distractions.

Kate,
For 2 millennia, the west has ruled the earth, marked our passing with art, literature, and philosophy... Apparently,, it's apparent that we have lost our drive and are in danger of diminishing into dust. The worst of it is I would hate to have to write in Chinese.

Yes, the west has ruled the world. But what I don't know is what we should eat or not, what we should do or not etc... the media, social media, brainwashing, advertising, false information, business, money, power, paying bills - all that cannot be the truth. We are detached from nature and have lost answers, or perhaps instinct. I don't know

It is a mess out there, but it is not eternal...

WE DO!!!,
But here is something that helps me... Romans 5:3...we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."
I've no idea what kind of suffering goes on in those cruel dictatorships or societies who do not place a value on human life, so my suffering hardly registers by comparison... I am who I am where I am ant that is enough to handle. Anyway, Kate, thank you for bringing another intelligent mind to the table...
