Hidden Words, Revealed Truths

Tristan Robert Lange

Searching for
Truth and wisdom
Regardless of the
Ongoing hoard of
Naysayers telling you to
Give in and give up.
 
Wreck any notion that,
Innately, anyone is somehow
Superior to anyone else.
Do not assume such lies
Or such self-deception will
Melt, revealing hatred.
 
Waiting for the perfect
Intimate moment is the
Nexus of
Exotic taste and class.
 
Understanding that
Nothing is truly known
In the
Vastness of
Existence; that we
Really are just taking
Stabs in the dark
Every time we think.
 
Whether or not
I can accept it,
Notwithstanding
Doubt and fear,
Openness begets
Wisdom.

    Oh, it was a prompt that prompted this; all the while I was prepping for a sleuthing expedition to find out why these words in particular! Nice read too, even without it being an acrostic, a fine touch of poetry my friend!

        I wish I could write something like "Really are just taking
        Stabs in the dark
        Every time we think". Or "Openness begets Wisdom."
        Philosophical and thought provoking - a must read for everyone in my humble opinion

                    you simply can't learn or be intelligent at all with a closed mind. you can't believe in x without knowing why you don't believe in y. you can't know everything about something until you consider multiple perspectives. believing blindly is just as good as giving up

                    • Tristan Robert Lange
