The Differing Hues Of Truth Poem by Saiom Shriver

Cartoonists win awards for
distorting truth.
Advertisers win sales by
repeating alleged truth.
Lawyers win client freedom
by selectivity with truth.
Campaigners win elections
by mononotes of truth's symphony.
Writers win readers by poetic
license with the truth.
Positive affirmers create new truth
by speaking only of future truths.
The therapist and the priest are
sealed, silent, about others' missteps on
the path to truth.
The sea is spherical silence
beyond all linear truth.
The mystic sees that only
eternal love can be called truth.
Saints and masters see the
indwelling divinity of all
as the only truth.
Angels.. for those who always speak the
truth.. transform their
Pinocchio words into real boy reality.
