A teacher to troubled youth
With a lifetime pursuing new degrees
Sparked his relentless quest for truth

Someday we’ll hold the answers, he’d say
As he framed his new degree
Until then he wrote his papers
And the words flowed endlessly

But the more the man discovered
The worse he felt inside
The truth, he thought, would set him free
Because we’re drowning in a sea of lies

Yet the truth is all his papers
Strained the human eyes
The truth was that nobody loved him much
The truth certainly hurt inside

But the truth is we all feel this way
At some point in our life’s brief time
Still we clutter up our window’s view
And we bury the pain inside

What if we learned a lot less?
And instead we tried to live
What if we truly loved those around us?
What if we started to forgive? [comments] => 1 [counter] => 123 [topic] => 43 [informant] => scottstone [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

The Truth

The relentless search for truth often reveals that the whole time, the truth was right in front of us. :) That was a very inspirational poem. Well done. Knowledge is wonderful, but there are greater things in life.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
