Truth never held by barriers
Finds a way to rush out
The same truth sets barriers
Between friends, turning them lout

@the theme: there's no denying that such a grim battlefield exists, and we see a sorry state of affairs too as you related here, but yes, truth always finds a way in the long run... @the sonnet: you have all the capabilities Yash, you could have followed the complete Shakespearean alternate rhyme scheme in the 2nd and the 3rd stanzas too...with a little effort! @punctuation: 3 dots do well but not more than 3, you can edit, even the 3 are not required here... quite meaningful poem!
You write amazing poems. Very touch and emotional. I really like this poem.
truth is bitter...the depth in your poems is really amazing for a 16-year-old...
We often believe that ultimately truth will triumph! But unfortunately truth is made blunt and lie cutting sharp in today's battlefield... As a feeling youngster, you are disappointed over this reversal of values.... A great write!
The themes you choose and struggle with have knocked even experienced poets sideways. I give you ten out of ten for attempting them. I think you are very lucky to be a lover, and reader, of other people's poems... It's from reading and loving poetry that we grow a discriminating heart, loving the play and dance of words. Persevere Yash. Keep on reading poetry and sharing your struggles.
A really good poem. It is an interesting idea that truth, though sharp as a sword, can heal abrasions.
This sonnet is excellent. How do you narrow down as profound a topic as truth? And yet in these few lines, you describe it honestly and beautifully. I really enjoy your work.
What a sonnet! Great write. Truth is unparalled. Keep writing
A thinking mans poet Truth revealed, defeated in worlds battlefield.... this is so confident a piece of profound thought... you young man are just so good.....tyvm karen
Good poem Yash. You make your point very well. 'Turning them lout' is an odd way of saying it - but effective nonetheless.
this is so nice to see you new Sonnet my dear! really great! i liked it very much!
You are good.This poem is lovely.You need a comma after truth in the first line.Also work on the rhythm between the lines to balance it off.But it is a lovely poem.Keep writing.
Truth is eternally constant and it cannot be defeated or blunted so to speak by any amount of lies... Those who seek shall find the truth but maybe at a steep price.. Good work :)
Three blind men went to an elephant, . One of them touched his ears, he commented the elephant is like a tray. Another one touched his leg, he commented it's like a pillar. The third one touched his tail, he commented it's like a snake. It is difficult to define truth, every one has his own point of view. Every one is right up to an extent and every one is wrong, too. A thing from different frame of references appears different. In this poem you appeared an angry young man and wrote a beautiful poem, but swords are not the solution. Donate your eyes for a life longer than that of you, so that a blind man is capable of watching the complete elephant.
