Mimi - Mona Poetry: The Seeing Eye of Truth

Everybody lies.

That’s what research suggests. However, criminal liars act pre-emptively; e.g., they will contact the police or, after being questioned, may contact their victims or victims’ families. When questioned by the authorities, they don’t give simple “yes” or “no” responses to questions as an innocent person will. They provide too many details and lie about the small things. They will refer to their victims (if murdered or injured) in the past tense. When asked direct questions, they will try to stall by saying, “huh?” or “what do you mean?”. And, they helpfully offer other explanations, e.g., they saw another person or suggest another person hoping it will throw of the authorities. They will even suggest an innocent party committed the crime.

Fragmented lies without foundation

bleeding a dark pigment of discontent;

conscious-stricken, I’m shushed,

I am commanded to hush;

speculating whether I will

shoot down their returning rising star—

No. Never have, will not now.

Accusation demanded— refused.

The evil that split this small world

manipulates, accuses, lies; the

star allowed to return

proffers the attacked false alibis and

crosses fingers behind his back

as he stands puffed self-righteously

like the billowing sail of an

oaken vessel pirating night skies.

Creators of words, songs, and movies

are labeled liars breathing life into

fantastic tales invented and shared.

Stop. We are the truth sinners,

not those with limited self-esteem,

those who eschew the arts and truth,

those who press labels across producers of

honest and sincere bodies of works;

not the hypocritical deceivers and

who deviously and jealously

slip in between the dusty blind slats

to covertly ambush and disorient

the color schemes of those with

the Seeing Eye of Truth.
