To Seek Or Not To Seek - An A.H. Scott Poem

To Seek or Not To Seek -




Truth can be told before we are oldTruth can be reflected in the eyes of a childTruth can express a forgiving toneTruth can be poisoned by a sinister tongueTruth can be forgotten if not pursued with doubtTruth has a way of coming to lightTruth is maturity’s plightTruth can be tart as timidity’s tearsTruth can be a dulcet reliefTruth can be that which seems obscured by beliefTake those five letters and apprehend what they are Truth can be a total redemptive unification towards harmonyTruth can be a tattered rancid ugliness thrusting hubrisIt is your choice on how you perceive what truth is Truth is an elusive essence which is sought or scowledAre you a seeker?Or just an empty vessel on the conveyor belt of complicityTruth – what a concept!
