Ugly Face of Truth


Lo and behold the ugly face of power to stop

Might to say no, wisdom to refuse, wit to not hope

The innate ability held within yet tempted to grope

Enticement in excitement to touch the nudity of mope

The tremendous force to set things right and smooth

And the ferocious desire of losing in ecstasy of doom

Behind the mask of insanity to proceed in waning gloom

Beyond the horizon of truth, reality, seed and the womb

The two faced being dwelling in the veins of the man

Whispers in the ear his decision the plan to clamp

The master of slave timidly obeys, a fact mildly amusing

Apprehension of losing, fear of denying in pretty beguiling

Will it ever dawn on man who holds the whip of power?

Disturbing and macabre as it sounds is it too sour?

The fine line between lingering and loitering is to say stop

Hold the hand out and scream out loud, see the difference for once
