The Future Writhes

Kurt Philip Behm

Once truth is judged delusion,

we choose the lesser of two lies

 

Abandoning that voice unheard,

—stillborn, a baby cries

 

The ideal in dark remission,

all hope now cast in flames

 

Making bargains with the Devil,

—as the future writhes in pain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

    I agree. What happened to truth? "Truth is beauty". There is little hope for the future without it.
