Truth and Truthfulness

expectation defines meaning
with exception
'hey how are you?' is a greeting
not a question
like fake tits are just illusion
not deception

some lies are not collusion
just confusion
some lies induce delusion
for a reason

the truth and being truthful
are not mutually exclusive
it's the lie not in confusion
that's relationship pollution

Interesting read, makes you think and ponder at times. Expand a little more so people understand your following and meanings like in some lies induce delusion for a reason. As that is open and you could think anything. Maybe just me being daft. And the ending " it's the lie" not in "confusion" that's a relationship pollution. That brough it all home for me. powerful and dramatic ending. Maybe not explaining myself great. Hope you follow. Good work and raw and drama filled.

I think open ended poems are more interesting, thought provoking and personally meaningful than ones that beat you over the head with obviousness. I think prose is for direct knowledge and poetry is for indirect knowledge.

good point. I sadly have to agree. It depends on your point of view and how you interpretate it like you said.

[Davidgeo]

Sadly agree? Why sadly?

[Onlyme]

just an express.. nothing more nothing less

[Davidgeo]

Hmm... if you say so.

[Onlyme]

I do. Because its true.

[Davidgeo]

Does agreeing with me truly make you sad?

[Davidgeo]

That's kinda weird.

[Davidgeo]

Deleting comments is even weirder. I hope I didn't upset you.

I love this poem, It's brilliant... I love the amazing words being used... I am in awe of this..

This was inspired by a very short book by a fellow named Sam Harris called "Lying". It's a pretty good read. He puts things very succinctly in an accessible way.
