Telling The Plain Truth Poem by Dennis Ryan
Telling The Plain Truth
"An honest tale speeds best being plainly told."
-Queen Elizabeth speaking in William Shakespeare's RICHARD III
August 25,2006
I have been brutalized, bankrupted, betrayed—
my retinas, knees, bank account, possibilities
nearly gone.Kim is care-worn, weary, overworked.
Devin and Shawn have been battered, brutalized, traumatized;
are without prospects—you said,"being plainly told."Now, friend,
knowing this, I have one question: "Are you still my friend? "
It was a difficult poem to write, and an even more difficult one to read, comprehend, and think about afterwards.
only powerful person can tell his or her secret truth to someone even a friend, it is hard to tell the truth in plain way. good poem, sir!
Thank you for saying so, Jagdish Singh Ramana. Best wishes to you. Dennis Ryan

A good practice. If the friend disappears then he or she were never really a friend. Well said.
