Truth and Falsity
destiny’s twins
Living together
in virtue or sin
Credence once glorified
deceit left in flames
Redemption and virtue
the devil profanes
Verity trumps lies
by its very intent
Disclaiming its sibling
who still unrelents
Existence dependent
as prophecy deigns
In mutual exclusion
— like Abel to Cain

Now Kurt this one was so clever I had to give it a fave. Well done
Much appreciated, thanks Soren.
Most welcome Kurt
Kurt, this hits with a sharp clarity…the way you frame truth and falsity as bound twins gives the whole piece a mythic weight. Strong, clean writing, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks, I have always been attracted and drawn to the eternal paradoxes.
