QUOTE.
โWe know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.โ
โ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth is a whore.
Surely, Truth is a whore in ambush;
scenting the trail of the seeker
with anticipation and illusion.
Quite unashamedly,
she splays her loins to reveal
treasures of Self-discovery
to the passionate.
Feasting ravenously upon the carnage
of words and revelations,
the believer plunders the Bitch
with lustful satisfaction.
Ah, but how content he is to
finally conquer Truth.
For now that she has been impregnated
by Judgment, he may possess
ignorance more completely yet.
โ Adam Donaldson Powell
from “Notes of a Madman”, 1987; and “Collected poems and stories”, 2005.)
