for an antidote to hate

What must we do to
open ourselves to beauty,
truth and compassion?
~
Look upon the world
with clear eyes, open minds,
and hearts unhardened by fear.
Truth and opinion
both clouded my history;
how can we know what is what?
~
Truth is what remains
when everything cloudy has
been allowed to drift away.
Why is it so hard
to hear the truth when spoken
from the mouths of enemies?
~
We are conditioned
to believe the enemy
always lies by bad leaders.
How might we look past
the ridiculous and find
the truly sublime?
~
The subliminal
message is often hidden
within ridiculousness.
Can we find magic
when all that held us spellbound
has been swept away?
~
One finds true magic
only when all illusions
have been swept away!
Are seekers of truth
content with endless searching
or is it more like… tenure?
~
There are some who seek
and some who sit. Truth’s visits
leave them both content.
If it is true that

~
Neither space nor time
are tabloids or worse, Fox News!
Gentlemen don’t kiss and tell!
What magical words
allow us to deliver
unpleasant truths, painlessly?
~
Magic lies not in
the words, but in the spirit
in which they’re spoken.
When confronted by
harsh and bitter, unpleasant
truth, what is the best response?
~
Because the truth can
set us free, we must embrace
unpleasant liberators.
And while we’re looking
beyond obvious meanings,
what’s up with the nightly news?
~
Whether night or day,
the news, though changing, remains
the same -some good, mostly bad.
