Where Truth Lies

Neville

Where Truth Lies

 

If the truth is not allowed to out,

   it shall eat you from inside ..

But I wouldn't worry all that much

      there’s not an awful lot of it to hide ..

    You know I will say this - it eats KP's botox from inside. That's a lot of truth! lol.

      You are bordering on being a wicked guineapig .. actually, you are bordering on being a skinned guineapig 🐀

        KP's got the cooking utensils out. Why is she sharpening a knife?! lol.

        But (good start) all truth inside would be subjective, and thus oftimes not worth outing anyway.....unless, of course, I've got something to say....
        I'm enjoying these shorties, Neville (but that's very subjective...so don't let it influence you.)...........

          id rather get write to the point and thank you unconditionally .. but my supa ego got in the way of my wave (actually a thumbs up) and insists I thank thee existentially tooly .. Cheers brother Dog .. N

            My word, Sir - Gratefully accepted.

            Well as I am a woman who has always believed in justice and honesty I say there's a lot of dishonesty and lack of morals right now in our world. Great subject. 🌹

              Quite write too .. and I thank you .. honest .. 🌹

              Whose truth. Mine , yours, theirs? Truth is so subjective. Just read an article across different newspapers. Everyone has their own version of the truth. As for being eaten from the inside, oh no no no. I don’t carry guilt well, better to be honest. Such a good quality. Nice bit of thought provoking brevity for a Saturday afternoon Neville. Make sure yours is a good one.

                I think that I found a treasure in your poem : in the last line: there’s not a lot of it to hide
                There isn’t much absolute truth left I’m afraid…

                • Neville



                  I am so glad you see it my way Parisab and that's the gospel truth .. Neville

                  Oh my!

                  • Neville



                    I love it when you hover over me like that and flap those things .. 🤍

                    Brilliant work.

                    • Neville

                      We seem not to be able to hear much truth in the world today Neville.

                        Maybe because so many believe what they are being told by their iPhones .. and the others walk around with their eyes shut .. Ta Andy .. Neville

                        Having even a glimmer of truth inside, is better than nothing..

                        • Neville



                          Now aint that the truth .. Good to see you here rhmn_7 .. cheers 🙂
