Will I praise you
At time of death?
Will I see through
Your soulful eyes
World's blind justice?
Will I hear through
Your acute hearing
Dolphins' stirring song?
Will I smell through
A prolonged nose
Your damn worst lies?
Will I taste through
Such sorely mouth
Your food for thought?
Will I touch through
The grace of God
Immortal soul?

Richard, I have given at least two dozen readings to this poem during the last two days and have tried to grasp its essence. To me it highlights the hypocrisy of man which has created a smoke-screen obstructing the truth of our relationships, purpose of life, society and consistency and reliability of commitments made by us and others. May be I am closer to the core. Thanks for sharing. Quite thought provoking.
I like writers searching for answers, delving for truths, and taking his readers along in his journey. Skillful and emotive imagery. And that title is perfect! ! ! Brought me to this poem like a homing bird- strength and power resounding in ever line. 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
