Forgotten Questions

A Poem by iTryToWriteAllTheTime

There is cost 

To all truth.


There is no more

Man in the cave, 

Initiating the un-

Initiated.


We have preachers

Who have not tra-

versed the depths,

Or sent themselves

Through the trials.


We protect this Dys-u-topia,

Like purgatory in the dark

Or like freedom in chains.

Derisive, divisive, divine.

We distance ourselves from

Costs of our own actions.


The cost comes around,

And we all pay it in full.

Eventually we will pay....so many preach but don't live by what they preach...and they often haven't really experienced the worst, so where could be their understanding.
a very thoughtful write here.
