Poetry Corner: The Truth That Goes Round 

0

Truth is…when you sow your works in deeds

When you sow your deeds in secret

When you sow your secrets behind the scenes…down and deep

When you sow all of these as seeds

Truth is…you reap what you sow

The absolute truth!

 

Truth is…when it runs into you

As easy as it does

When it comes with a yell

Yelling all the way into your life

As easy as it does

And when it runs away from you

After a short spell

As easy as it had ran into you

Truth is…easy comes, easy goes

Nothing but the whole truth!

 

Truth is…when you throw that ball

That bounces

When that ball bounces back

With a deafening noise

When that ball bounces back

Not by your choice

But when karma brings back a ball

Into your accounts

Where it counts

When it counts

The absolute truth!

 

Truth is…when you have eaten your cake

And when you have taken all there is

When you want to take back your cake

But nothing there is

No matter how hard you stretch for it

Then there is nothing left of it

Nothing but the whole truth!

 

Truth is…when it goes around

What ought to go around

And when it comes around

What must come around

To a round of applause

Or to take away a pound of flesh

Truth is…what goes around, comes around

The absolute truth!

 

Truth is.. when you abandon the battle in the middle of the fray

When you run and you run

But you cannot hide

And when you hide but cannot run away

Then you live to contend in a bitter battle…another day

Nothing but the whole truth!

 

Truth is…when it begins to happen

Then it continues to happen

When it continues without abating

Thinking it would never cease to happen

Then it suddenly ceases to happen

Then you wonder

“So nothing continues forever…to happen”

The absolute truth!

 

Truth is…all of these shall come to pass
