Lange Woon ------- two poems
Truth Comes Again
Truth.
It came, passed, in an instant.
10 years more to state it.
10 more to analyze it.
10 more to debate it
10 more to refute it.
10 more to discard it.
10 more to forget it.
Truth.
It came again.
A new generation to hear it.
It came, passed, in an instant.
10 year more to state it…..
It came, passed, in an instant.
10 years more to state it.
10 more to analyze it.
10 more to debate it
10 more to refute it.
10 more to discard it.
10 more to forget it.
Truth.
It came again.
A new generation to hear it.
It came, passed, in an instant.
10 year more to state it…..
Intoxification
So familiar.
Dad’s home from work.
Smiling mom, so beautiful.
Glass in hand.
Kids so happy. Dancing.
Hopping on Daddy’s lap.
Tickling, laughing. Giggling.
Dinner.
Pleasing to the eye.
So delicious.
Relaxing in front of the TV.
Nice show.
So inspiring.

I like the directness combined with irony in these poems by Lange Woon.
