Tipping Truth

Tipping Truth

leanings to meanings

and a flurry of blur

when were the answers to life

going to be available

meanings to leanings

questions up against a wall

and walls fall down

when balance is in the throes

of hypocrisy.

Jacob,

from the beginning spoken of within Genesis, hypocrisy has tainted and defiled any truth ever contained therein, thus, rendering such proclaimed truths but tasty lies seasoned with but a hint's smidgen of that which we were told was/is truth ... Thus, Religion is a lie ...

From its very inception of Paul Revere shouting "The British are coming," our nation was never that beautifully pristine nation born out of the night lights and torches of Tea's taxation without representation, but of our nations wealthy leadership seeking a means to rebel against the British Drug Cartel (which held sway over the far east and, implicitly, China) in establishing our own turf of competing drug runners to stand hand in hand with the British with the American Revolution giving birth to a comrade in arms which assisted Britain invade, pillage and plunder, and rape China of all of its great and sacred treasures (taking Hong Kong as booty) during that period of time which the Chinese came to call The Hundred Years of Shame ... America has always been a drug dealing, peddling, nation, an invader and plunderer of other weaker nations, and the very words, "land of the free and home of the brave," are, in truth, a purest bullshit of a nation founded upon lies and hypocrisy ...

... And I love this nation of people who do need to learn the truth of our sordid past in order to purify our future ...

I hope that your many fine readers will invest the ime to read and learn the true history of our nation, a nation whose ambassadors encouraged Japan to invade and civilize China just prior to our entry into World War II: Flags Of Our Fathers, Flyboys, The China Mirage, The Imperial Cruise by renowned historical author, James Bradley:

I am a history buff, no doubt, for I believe that the true test of Religion, Science, & History is that each should and must support and verify the other, and if not, something is, indeed, amiss ... However the information I shared above is due to the meticulous research and dedication of author and historian, James Bradley And yet, in addition, I must also give credit to wherever and whomever credit is aptly due, as taken from my profile spiel: As renowned Science Fiction Novelist Robert Anson Heinlein wisely proclaimed (Thank you for sharing, my friend, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU: https://allpoetry.com/Andre_ben-YEHU ) : “A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future.” ... They say that History is written by the victors, and perhaps this is so ... But, it must be written, analyzed, scrutinized, and remembered, always ... For history does repeat itself due to our inherently flawed Human Nature ...

I am looking too Jacob.
"when were the answers to life
going to be available"
I ask this question often in a long day. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

oh boy I get to be first to review a Jaacob poem.... and a poem by Jacob is an artistic "truth" no one can tip!!!

anyway, seems like in today's political climate, truth has become the rubble lying on the ground of american foundation.... and once walls (lies and myths) come down and people fight for what's "true" and in the interests of humanity, we can burst through and build a new foundation where truth and science based reality are the morality and norms breaking apart a me first egocentric society... hell, we might even be able to save the planet we live on.... here's a truth that can't be "tipped": "truth can't set you free, but you can't get free without the truth"... truth is not subjective, it is true for everyone or not true at all...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, a rubble lying on the ground of the american foundation... so well put...
thank you, curt....
