Hidden Truth,
Truth without stinting flows
In gusting bellows while it snows
Of the chilling season that yearly grows
On the vast oceans where knowledge is gained
Silently every year this vessel is sailed
Where overt reality lays unveiled
And sad are these masked lonely sailors
Like camouflaged ballerinas clad for tailors
Concealing their vast abilities and responsibilities
Under the bare cosmic stars we hide our obvious scars
Clandestinely dancing in blackness wanting light
Where resonance lays unspoken yet white
Albeit borrowed are these simple ripe words
Intensely sung in delicately constructed chords
Of the angelic choir hiding behind only human attire
When performing acts measured by lucid mind
That forever chooses to be noble and kind
Hidden is the truth only to the blind
We do waste our intellect so deeply bright
As we secretly screen our stains in radiant light
Whilst rumbling darkening skies and pollution of lies
Forcing our incandescent lights to become faded
And perish amongst society so easily jaded
With our bodies so hollowly invaded
Always fighting, defeating and running
Hurting and stabbing with words so cunning
Fearing to surface our truth as this is totally banning
Programmed we lust delusion of needless cash
Burying to hide in decays of world trash
Only garbage and waste we stash
Within this, the toxic noise of pollutions
In manifested outcomes within icy conclusions
Each and every one projecting their very own illusions
Lays but us, we reside in reality shamefully ridden
Where omitted peace and facts are forbidden
And concealed truth is so deeply hidden

Poetry: Hidden truth
Behind the news...
Money and power will always dictate
what "truths" we, the people, are fed
and to further their cause
You've excavated my essence
You've dug into my being
Like an archaelogical expedition
You've found fossils I don't want you
by Bob Mundle
Disguises
Caped and veiled;
Dare one ask
Who wears this mask?
Wreathed in smiles;
Dare one look
Into these eyes?
Silver
The cat that swallowed the canary
Thought the flavor was sweet and airy
He devoured it whole and thought no one would know
by Renee Soulie
Whispers
It was just another whisper in the dark
I stopped again to hear the words
And finally heard the lie
I turned around
