The Truth Revealed

Speaking on the realness
I hope that you feel this
Don't judge my words for
The way of the world's lores

This is a testimony
All from
Which I
Understand reactions of the hate, love, trust, lies

At first you didn't like them
Think of the first time
But then you saw what they saw
You just read their sign

Decoded the message
Made all that was dusty clear
Revealed the intentions
And felt the truth was near

It wasn't until you realized what you were looking for
Did you witness it wasn't far
It was so simple, so fitting, so solid at its core
The truth hidden like a scar

Like intimate secrets, a bond is created
You now see why instead of how
You felt the heart of all belated..
love that can be seen in the now.

Nice, do you have music to go with the poem? Something ska like would be perfect

Hmm no, I would like to hear what it would sound like. I was listening to some progressive poetic hip hop when I made it though

SKA..... LOL come on now SKA has been dead for a long time now. But I definately felt that real hip hop kinda like Common.

this is horrendous, sounds almost like rap but has a tiny bit of meaning in it.

haha, a tiny bit I see? I'm curious what your reactions would have been if music was never mentioned.

I thought the OP had plenty of meaning in it: the ability to see through someone's else eyes; the willingness to go beyond one's own preconceptions and to get a profound insight into the mind of 'The Other' as a result.

Of course, I might be completely off. My apologies to juveous if that's the case.

Yes. It is about a realization through an empathetic understanding. Finally seeing things as they truly are and appreciating it. It makes you look back on why you never had seen it before, and it was because you misunderstood why we do and say the things we do. An experience is only that, as its happening.
