Truth With No Meaning Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Truth With No Meaning

Rating: 4.6


When the truth has no meaning
and the powers that be let them hide
what's the point in justice
if it's all built on a lie

I know someone
who told a lie
got a guy put away
destroyed his life

I know a man
who hurt his nephew
didn't even try to hide
just carried on with life

Justice can't hide
how many lies
do we have to bide

The days turn into nights
the nights turn into days
but the lies still shine bright

It's time to turn the light off
it's time to put the meaning
back into the truth

It's time

Mmm, how can there be truth if there is no meaning. It's a shame david, this could have been a good poem. You will know by now that I am the best poet in the world, well I order you to write a poem with me, I will show you where your going wrong. King.

So true, my friend. It is high time that we have again meaning in truth Honesty is one of the greatest goods Some time ago I googled for quotes on honesty for my children and found that quotes ridiculising honesty far outnumbered the ones sincerly praising it. It is high time we put honesty and truth right in front.
