No Truths

You look but you don't see,

You hear but you won't listen,

You'll eat but you won't taste,

You'll see lies but not the truth,

Your oblivious to the obvious.

All you see is lies,

All you hear is lies,

All you know is lies,

All of life is a lie,

Everything you know is a fake, a phony, a lie,

Nothing genuine,

So why don't we know this?

Because we ourselves are lies.

LiveLaughLove,

Poetry doesn't always need to rhyme or for that matter make any sense.

For the write... Any thoughts are those of yours and no matter the order they for a meaning not just for yourself yet also for others and in this case i am sure there are a few who can relate...

Thank you for the read.

Have a Wonderful Day

I believe what was once needed to be said, has already been said.
This was a great write, nonetheless.
Keep up the excellent work.

there's and old saying: "the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree." we are the results of those that lived before us. we've been ensnared in this circle of lies and deception, and now that we are in too deep. for generations we've been deceiving one another and everything has become a lie! well all know it and realize that it's all a bunch of lies but at this point there is so much apathy that we don't care. the lie doesn't really matter...jesus...lol. i think i took this poem too far..anyway..i loved the concept that drove this poem! wonderful!

Oh yeah, meant to say- 'oblivious to the obvious' is a great line that aptly sums up the point you're making!

Actually this made me think of government, media and society as a whole... and I completely agree with the sentiments. It is all a lie- I mean, for example- the whole world is currently experiencing a recession because the banks lost all the bits of paper we're told are necessary to live on and the governments spent the rest on blowing up defencless countries in oil fuelled wars, but it is the ordinary common folk that have to suffer and starve, work and pay tax to replenish the economy? All for bits of printed paper? Really? I'll try eating it the next time I come by some then! Nice write- i enjoyed it, spence

Sounds a lot like the book of Lamentations, vanity, vanity, all is vanity...it makes perfect sense.
