I don’t think
we can accept
face value at
face value
I have
too many questions and
too much time
on my hands
to believe everything
we are told
There is always
more than
meets the eye
Look further
Go beyond
What you are told

unknowing
Don’t we all wear masks,
disguise ourselves
to protect our souls
from the unknown
or unknowing?
Sometimes honesty
needs to be concealed
to remain real.© 2019 j.g. lewis

speak up
It is the answers to questions
where you choose no reply,
thoughts we hold inside, and
unknown facts or faults we
do not breathe. We know
they are there.
It’s not that they are secrets,
we all just have certain things
we feel we need to don’t
need to explain or disclose
to anyone. At times it is hard
to even admit to yourself.
If you tell me something
I don’t know about you,
you will come up with
a greater understanding
of why you kept it hidden.© 2017 j.g. lewis

dare we glance back?
Is this world as fractured
as we are led to believe?
Politically, ideologically,
or spiritually, fault lines
are obvious.
It is not superficial.
Are all thoughts jumbled
or is that just me?
Can we look ahead? Dare we
glance back? What was there?
Is what we see now all
that is worth knowing?
Can we learn more?
Do we want to?
Do we need to?© 2020 j.g. lewis
