Revelation

A Poem by Red Brick Keshner

`

 

 



Secrets are secret


Truth cannot expound


Everything is vanity


No comfort to be found





Truth is relative


or so it is, they say


Life for us is short


no time to dry the hay





What Truth will illumine


Lies would then conceal


with ebony tusks uncover


wounds that would not heal

Exceptional, a piece in so few words able to illuminate truth. Even with it's brevity you're able to show the struggle of truth and lies and the ever present pressure of time. A conflict that is continued and highlighted with "ebony tusks". Great wording, meter and flow. Brilliant
