Veracity

R.M. ENGELHARDT POET AUTHOR WRITER

VERACITY

The truth is
A beautiful
A lovely
A mystifying

Thing

That separates us from
All the see thru
Schemes

That appear normal

But still

Just not
Quite right

Telling us
Of the ongoing repetition

Obvious elocution

Unworthy of
A place to still be
Haunting

As the sirens still
Scream obliterating
The much needed sound

Of words

Of sincerity

Of love

Hoping to distract
Us all from
The light

That Leonard once
Told us
All about

So long ago

In a time when all
The words
All mattered

Still
