Empty Truths Poem by Sean Green

Empty Truths

Rating: 5.0


When the math denies the truth
that value lays in the obtuse
then return is measured far too short
a fraction of the true worth

denial is the easy path
one traveled by all involved
when the map only shows
dogma's taint turned to roads

only asking staid results
the vanilla of cheers extolled
equations will only lie
supply answers the wise deny

even while the most precious gifts
are eschewed through ignorance
when calculations run by fools
are the basis of empty truths.

Truth does not know what is truth or who is true oh! It's mirage in this evolutionary world. yet none can deny the realistic present. the future is on the counting time but none knows what is future. everyone gets the present. so it's job for everyone to seize the realistic present where truth or true is hidden!
