Tortured Poet Believes In Truth

The tortured Poet Expresses only that which they truly believe No matter how hard That truth is to accept Or to tell As the truth is hard Sometimes may even be taken And misinterpreted as a lack of care Whereas a poet who paints pictures Unto others about hope and the joy of life Personally to me are choosing to be rather a Non believer Of reality as it exists And if that makes or helps them in anyway I for 1 am sincerely happy for them The only problem I have Is that leading other people in into believing That everything in the end will be okay Will only be a temporary release But 1 day in the future They will find out to their own cost Much like a credit card There is interest to pay on top All you have done is put off Paying for something which is going To cost you more and will only end up Regretting why you didn't just Get it out of the way and done with them And leave you hoping and thinking You have learned your lesson So you don't make the same mistake again

Be that as it may Christopher, some poets spell out their own thoughts probably more in hope than truth, yeah its fantasy but who cares once they get some amusement from it, reality as it exists is still being probed by physicists and is far from understood, but the everyday reality you mention here, I agree does not offer much hope, great stuff, cheers David

It's the hope that kills me personally David No hope no problem to me can and have spent a lifetime dealing with that fact Torture is truth personified Poetry is telling it in the eyes of the author As always David Sir thank you for telling it and calling it as you see it

Interesting thoughts. I suppose some view glass half empty and others view half full. We pick moments to live in.
