Truth And Lie Poem by Marieta Maglas

Knowing the truth means
Knowing things as they are
And as water is
The mother's womb of all things,
So is the truth
For the human beings,
We all need to be rescued,
Though sometimes,
We lie to ourselves
Straining to feed
The illusion of happiness.

In the embrace of truth
lies the essence of reality,
a gentle current that flows
as surely as water cradles life
within a mother's womb.
Just as that sacred space
nurtures all beginnings,
so too does truth cradle
the hearts of humanity.
We wander through life,
yearning for salvation,
yet often we find ourselves
ensnared in the delicate web
of self-deception,
desperately clinging to
the fragile mirage of joy.
