By Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes
WHEN TRUTH ISN’T TRUE
The children
you remember raising
don’t exist
outside the imaginary cages
fake news projects onto TV screens
The sun you believe
rises in the East
Isn’t a fact
it’s science fiction
The voice your ears think they hear
was burned before it could be spoken
by the witch hunt
against freedom of thought
Freedom is a weight
some carry and others forfeit
in collusion with the stone mason’s
wall

everybody has their own large universe of truth(s). when we get together to help a neighbor in need, raise a barn, or feed the hungry, we share our truths, and become better, wiser… thanks for all your beautifully composed words to wisdom, keep ’em coming…
