Facades of Truth
By- BENAM
Truth has so many facades!
How often I wish I had more insight
More insight into the working of the world.
Not the physical but human one.
Long brought up on the notion of superiority
Superiority of the American civil
and social Administration
I got a jolt,
jolt of “Ladenic” proportion.
When the “New Orleans” disaster occurred.
For what I saw was unbelievable
Nay an ‘out-of-world’ sight for me.
For I saw before me not the America of my imagination
But horribly divided, seemingly third world nation.
Children, women, men
Dying unattended for days!
Truth they say is bitter
And bitter indeed it is –
The realisation that the global policeman
Is sheltering thieves in its own house.

good way of thinking
truth has no faces,
truth has no dimension
truth has no time convention
truth is not the same under all the circumstances
truth is not universal
that is the secret of truth
good poem
good luck

I really liked reading this!
You have an excellent sense of rhythm in your writing. The lines flow well, and it sounds right when it is read out loud.
One thing that I have found particularly helpful in writing poetry is to provide details for as many of the five senses as possible. While the events bring up images from the news and things I remember, there aren't really any images in the poem that I can see (or hear, or smell, or feel).
Providing some physical detail can ground a poem so that it does not become too philosophical. It can really bring the reader closer to the poem.
Keep writing, you have a lot of talent!
