Analysis of Dawning Recognition



There comes an awareness,
Of truth to recognize.
Identified.
Before to hear heard spoken.
Especially if in the presence,
Of those skilled in dancing...
Around the bush.
And witness them believing,
This tool to use...
Hides a fool that chooses to stay one.

There comes an awareness of truth to see.
For what truth is and meant to be.
When one grows older,
And exposed to tricks and games...
On playground landscapes.
However,
There is a dawning recognition of truth.
That comes to stay not to disappear.
And it can frighten the many still skipping,
From one deception to deceive another.
