Truth Poetry

Listeners to Corbett Report Radio will have heard an interesting call from Ronson in Kansas last Thursday. He shared with us the following poem:

Bodhisattva

The obvious atrocity; in the study of philosophy;
…Is the fact we failed to remove hypocrisy from democracy.
Let alone cleanse the pollution that resides inside of me.
Half truths leave whole fools still wishing remittance to thought schools.
Self Observation is the patient upon the conscious table,
Live in the moment and not the fable.

Long-time listeners of The Corbett Report will know that I like to highlight Truth Music when as and if possible (see Truth Music installments One Two Three and Four). Well, why not Truth Poetry? Or Truth Art? There are many different creative modes of expression, and surely they are all effective at getting the word out to others who may not be interested in dry news reports and “serious” conversation. If you have some creative truth work in your info arsenal, by all means send it in through the contact form and I’d be happy to take a look. If there’s enough interest, perhaps we’ll be able to put together a compilation of some kind.
