A Man Is A Lonely Truth Poem by Patti Masterman

A Man Is A Lonely Truth

Rating: 5.0


A man is a lonely truth
In a world both ancient and new;
The vanishing point of the future,
The proof of the present clue.

Though man is a finite history
Whose cause is obscured by time,
His is the consummate mystery
Of self-apprehending mind.

A man is a lie perfectly told To mask how cruel is this world A proof that history was unjust Was once a spem and ends as dust Still think he rules he wants to be god Destroyed the world spilled the blood

Magnificent in scope and metaphor of the human fragility; this easily could be the perfect epilogue for the entire race. You write out of a superbly thoughtful mind.

Each man carries his own truth in his DNA.. Different subject with kindling thought!
