Consequences

Is what we do in line 
With what we say? 
Are we truthful? Is it
Our wish to tell it like
It is? Or are we happy
To prevaricate? One
Word for truth, dozens
For lies. Verily, if true
Veracity, candor, lying,
Mendacity, sincerity,
No consequences for
Lying, none for truth.
Speaking what we do
Know, knowing what 
Is so, does this mean
You don't know what
Is not truth, not real.

Hark

What podcasts are you listening to?

We who listen but cannot
Hear are legion. Interpret 
Another's words to meld
To our thoughts. Like a sci-
Fi trick just low-fi not hi-
Fi. Fie on me for all this 
Wordplay. It's your forum.
 
You get your say and say what
You wish. We hear you, headsets
Firmly fitted. We are earnest in
Following you, determined too
To learn what wisdom you offer.
It is generous of you to share.

Bliss

What’s something you believe everyone should know.

Ignorance, is it really bliss?
The less you know, the more
You miss. Know truth from
Lies and lies from fantasies
Appreciate fiction, but live a
Life that's real. Sure, it's true,
Sometimes, facts are stranger
Than anything you could make
Up. Then there's the surreal, too.
You say to yourself to your friends
To any interlocutor "you know 
You just can't make this stuff up."
But ignorance? Nah leave it behind.
Bliss is in the knowing, knowledge
It's powerful and will give you joy.
