    Wonderful Write

    You have penned truth in writing. I love the words...
    Deception
    Alters
    Perception

    So much truth in those three words. This was a great write and the form goes great with the message.

    Take care, SDandy

    Absolute Truth...

    In short (sentences?) Common sense wrapped in singular word meanings. Can comments of approval actually be longer than the write commended?

    Excellence in brevity....

    Not one word wasted. How you've managed to say so much in such a sparse way is really remarkable. I suppose that any flimsy mental construction that is based on the eyes is not to be trusted.

      I loved your comment. If you haven't already done so, and happen to have the time, just read the book: "The Truth Machine". Doing so will put this poem into the appropriate context.
      Thanks again, for the comment; compliment, and applause. I do appreciate them, my friend.
