Truth Is In The Art (Original)



It is in the flow of motion,

Through all the threads of time,

Twisted, turned, even broken,

Resurrected and reversed in mind.

Used by kingdoms to control,

Hidden for centuries until now,

Forgotten and remembered, never told

By those whose tongues are loud.

Now is the time to start;

Before was prophecy and inspiration

From the good and pure in heart,

The first, the last temptation.

When the world saw only one speech,

And before the tower of Babel,

Not every man could go preach;

Very few knew all was well.

“The suns of G-d saw daughters of men,”

And who were the suns?

They were the threads without sin,

The Adams, the Abels, the one.

This life I tell for a reason,

The time has come to reveal

Pictures in paintings, stories in seasons,

But now all things must heal.

“My spirit shall not strive with man forever,”

The suns of G-d are gone,

From giants on earth or whatever,

The mix was necessary but wrong.

Look in between the lines

And try to see your part;

Poetry and writing are mine,

Truth is in the art.

About this poem

Fighting for those faces you see and don't see on the websites: THE ARK PROJECT LLC THE BEEP INC. BEEP BLACK WALL STREET BOOKS I'm Muslim, I'm Black and I'm American so I guess I have three strikes against me LOL. I'm here reaching out to those concerned about the great divides that no-one wants to address and I'm here to address them head-on (Social Injustice, Islamophobia, Systematic Oppression, etc...). I am the author of this book: "Oh, Say Can You See!?" (Secrets) & Truth Is In The Art which shows how passionate I am about what was done and what continues to be done and ignored. Poetry is as a result of my life experiences as well as my opinions. They are my studies of the scriptures while paralleling them with history along with the present day's crimes against humanity, by those that claim to govern us. Keep in mind that my love for this country is beyond measure and incomparable. However, there are principles that a person ascertains to and therefore must stand upon. more…
