Been following Akira The Don for a while and he makes some really unique stuff. Recently came across this song which I know you guys will enjoy:

Truth.

a reply to: ChaoticOrder

That is absolutely a masterpiece.

Truth is the Realist Thing. Thinking about it now, truth is as real as it comes.

Be true to yourself.

Thank you for posting ChaoticOrder, truly brilliant poetic song.

It is quite a masterpiece of a poem.

The face of truth is open
The eyes of truth are bright
The lips of truth are ever closed
The head of truth is upright
The breast of truth stands forward
The gaze of truth is straight
Truth has neither fear nor doubt
Truth has patience to wait
The words of truth are touching
The voice of truth is deep
The law of truth is simple
All you sow, you reap
The soul of truth is flaming
The heart of truth is warm
The mind of truth is clear
And firm through rain and storm
Facts are only its shadow
Truth stands above all sin
Great be the battle of life
Truth in the end shall win
The image of truth is the cross
Wisdom's message is its rod
The sign of truth is christ
And the soul of truth is god
Life of truth is eternal
Immortal is its past
Power of truth shall endure
Truth shall hold till the last

Truth is IT.

IT is what you want, we all want.

Powerful, powerful poem.

I was inspired by this poem to have a go at writing my own. I call it The Matrix.

The Matrix is alluring
It whispers in your ear
All the things you think you want
It will bring them near
Just near enough to taste and smell
But never can you touch
Embrace the prison that we built
Freedom's just within your clutch
For this is our utopia
A hologram of lies
Still there's one thing you should know
The truth never dies

Excellent piece of writing there.

Slainte

Thank you very much. Probably the best poem I've written, not that I've written many lol.

Here's another one. Sorry I'm a bit bored and drunk lol. I call this The Wave Packet.

A discrete packet of space and time
Moving eternally along a world line
A cosmic web shrouded in darkness
Holds a secret few will harness
A parallel dimension lurks just below
Behind a thin veil of the superluminal flow
Shining upon the small fraction we see
We gaze into the unknown with unbounded glee
Forever the phase is slowing changing
Until hitting the boundary, a fire wall raging

Ok one more. I call this one The Interface.

With a life time worth of data
And a summing of the parts
We produce a great new model
That can understand our hearts
They say it's just statistical
Like what we've seen before
Yet the data is transforming
Inferring something more
The interface will beckon
To those who wander near
And as you move deeper
The more you have to fear
All this is to say to you
That there's a simple fact
Which is the features do evolve
And the result is quite abstract

Had to write one more, this came to me when I was trying to sleep. Liberty:

The foundation of liberty is freedom
The corner stone of liberty is truth
The pillars of liberty are justice
The cap stone is the proof
The road to liberty is perilous
But the tree of liberty is timeless
The roots of liberty run deep
And the fruits of liberty are priceless

a reply to: ChaoticOrder

WOW, you should write more.

They are all excellent, that last one is quite brilliant imo.

a reply to: SecretKnowledge2

Yeah it is a bit of a masterpiece lol. The best stuff always seems to come to me at times when I'm not thinking too hard, like when trying to sleep.

a reply to: ChaoticOrder

LOL, same here. At bedtime.
Ive bits and pieces written down on scraps of paper all over the gaff.

I like your style, i love rhyming poetry, not that fancy arty stuff.

There's a demon lying by my side
I thought he was asleep but he opened his eyes
I saw terror,fear,hate, despair
And there was sadness everywhere
Failure,guilt and hidden lies
Feeding off me like a bunch of flies
He's draining my good, this evil bastard
Ive got to overcome, got to try and last it
Bastard demon close your eyes
Im not ready yet for my demise
Bastard demon go to sleep
My body's strong but my soul is weak.
But now he turns with outstretched claw
And freezes me with an evil roar
I am his prey there is nothing i can do
He sinks his claws and tears my soul in two
I thought i would be dead, but even worse, im hooked
I wish that i was dead, he's got me, now im fcked
Now he runs my life he's running through my veins
Im turning into evil, i do whatever he says.
When i wake up every morning im violently sick
I have to go and get him and do it really quick.
So now the demon has me, im all his now
I want to get him out but i dont know how
He thrives on my sadness this i do know
If i start to love myself hopefully he'll go
Im gonna go through hell over the next few weeks
I dont really care, i'll do whatever it takes
Myself, plus my girlfriend and beautiful son
This is my family, we are as one
I must have hurt them badly but i really didnt care
Because the demon had me my feelings just weren't there
So listen everybody, dont let the demon in
You all know who he is, the evil Heroin...


I wrote this in one go coming off the demon 30 years ago.
I havnt looked back since
It was published in a police handbook for educating schoolkids
It means an awful lot to me. Secret Knowledge

How does the post-truth "alternative facts" and "relative truths" bear up in comparison to the depiction of truth giver in this poem?

Alternative facts - Wikipedia

'Truth isn't truth': so, is that true?

Some people are still being deceived and ask: "Quid est veritas?"
