With facts obliterated,
Truth dissipated
Into frosty air
And Hell’s lair
What is now left
In a world bereft
Is this string of lies
As some coveted prize
This shroud of mistrust
Eyed with disgust
Keen to be lifted
And shifted
Lies unmoved
Firmly grooved
Whose soul is to sell
This, only time shall tell

Anyway, thanks for your kind words here, my friend..
“With facts obliterated,

I really liked these lines.
Oh..thank you so much, David.. I really appreciate your words here!
And that’s the truth.
Sadly, yes..
Nice write – enjoyed reading it
Gee..thanks, M !!!
‘bravo’ i yell
still under your spell
i jump at the thrill
to bow to your skill
Wooohooo!!! I am flattered, my friend!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Kavita, this is amazing. Lies do have a way of destroying souls…
You can say that again, Talon! They really suck!
This is so nice.
Aww.. thanks a ton!!!
Who’s soul is to sell … let’s hope we can keep our souls pure and beautiful … Lovely Kavita! Here is my Potluck http://scentofmyheart.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/standing-tall/
You bet, Blaga!! I am keeping my fingers crossed too!
Glad you liked this poem, my dear… thank you…
Nice 55, and a nice potluck selection. The rhymes feed the progression,and the end leaves one with a few questions still.
Yaaaay… glad you saw it that way, Joy!!! It’s those lingering questions that eat away at one’s brain…don’t you think!?!? (sigh)
Lies unmoved, firmly grooved. A very awkward place to be, caught in a web of deceit.
Oh absolutely, Dan… a very awkward (and horrible) place to be! It’s like quicksand… ugghhh
‘This shroud of mistrust
Eyed with disgust’
Its so relatable
Uh ohh… relatable…but so darned unpleasant.. no?!
Excellent example of laconic poetry. Wraps the theme nicely into a small package of observations that all tie in well together. Always good to swing through and see what you’ve been writing. Take care,
crb.
Gee..thanks for the kind and appreciative words, CRB… they are invaluable to me!!
“Truth dissipated
Into frosty air…”
When I run in cold weather, I can always tell when I pass a spot where someone’s been smoking, even long after they’re gone. The telltale scent hangs in the air…. That’s what came to mind as I read your words. Thank you!
Now THAT’s what I call ‘power of association’, Michael!!! Amazing how certain words/things remind different people of different situations/incidents!
Thanks for your sharing your insights here, M… most interesting!
Fib-woven no well-woven, but surely a well-written poem. Enjoyed much … and whose soul to sell. We’ll see …
Nice, Kavita.
(sigh)… the global rise in corruption we see these days is quite alarming…don’t you think?! Makes me wonder how many souls are being sold (and to whom) each day!
Too many souls … even one: too many.
Well said, Jamie… too many indeed!
(sigh)
i cant stand lies…and selling ur soul to keep the truth hidden…this was an excellent write..
Thanks for views and kind words, Chim… most appreciated!
And yes.. lies really suck!
Great flow here, nice subtle rhym es to accentuate your point.
Aww..thanks a bunch for the kind words, Shan sweetie..
Lovely picture and a thoughtful poem.
Thank you so much, Uma..
Your poem speaks of our present time. Lies are everywhere – politics, media, even in our neighborhood. It’s so hard to trust people.
You wrote a powerful poem in just 55 words. Brilliant!
Aww.. it really is up to us how we handle all those lies.. don’t you think, Katherine?
I really appreciate your insights here, my friend.. thank you..
Kavita, perfection and so descriptive of what truthfully happens.

Lies beget lies. A tasty Poluck Dish, Kavita!
You can say that again, Eric.. lies only lead to more lies… grr!
Hope you enjoyed this dish, my friend..
Beautifully written yet again
Love the flow and the language you use
Aww… thank you so much, my dear!!!
Yes, Kavita, so very true.
Well done.
A sad truth… isn’t it, Pam?
Glad you liked the poem, my dear… thanks..
