5 Replica

I introduced Replica and presented encores of A Race and Slip Away at Open Mic at Vincent Hill Saloon & Restaurant in Acton CA Sunday, 2013.06.30 to share my ideas via music-accompanied poetry.

Replica

what way is better

permits a will to fetter
truth a debtor

to a masked lie
and a counterfeit thereby
is truth nearby

and denied its guard?
guard to verify canard
restrictions discard

when the lie shatters,
if reality matters
truth under tatters

may endure the will
of the one gushing forth swill.
but truth as lies still

waits discovering
identity recovering.
reason hovering

astute guard discerns
deceit to facts he returns
and with truth's concerns

does see through the ruse
that insight slipping that noose
leashing will to choose
