" Redacted Histories " By Jacky Kapadia In margins carved by cautious hands, truth sleeps in veiled restraint, A ledger inked with absences, where silence poses faint; The parchment bears the ghost of words that dared not linger long, Each line a wound half-stitched in time, each gap a muted song. Beneath the seal of sanctioned eyes, the past is trimmed and dressed, Adorned in curated memory, its edges dispossessed; What lingers is a polished tale, compliant and refined, While shadows keep the fragments lost, the truths we’re trained to blind. Yet whispers travel through the cracks where ink could not contain, In echoes of the unrecorded, in residues of pain; For history resists the blade that seeks to shape its frame, And breathes within the footnotes none were meant to name. So let us read between the lines, where absence speaks aloud, And gather all the scattered truths denied a rightful shroud; For every redacted memory still trembles to be known, A testament that truth endures, though never fully shown. ==================END=================== #RedactedHistories, #HiddenTruths, #UntoldStories, #SecretArchives, #LostNarratives, #HistoryUncovered, #TruthRevealed, #DarkHistory, #ForgottenVoices, #BuriedPast, #HistoricalSecrets, #UnseenHistory, #HiddenRecords, #TruthMatters, #RevealTheTruth, #DeepHistory, #PastUnveiled, #MysteryOfHistory, #EchoesOfThePast, #TruthSeekers

" Equal To Truth " By Jacky Kapadia In silent courts where whispered doubts convene, No crown outshines what quiet facts declare, For truth walks plain, unrobed, yet ever seen— A sovereign none may flatter or impair. It needs no voice to argue or defend, No gilded phrase to make its presence known, Through shifting tides, it neither breaks nor bends, But stands immutable, in strength alone. Where shadows stretch, illusion weaves its art, And fragile lies like glass in brilliance gleam, Yet truth endures—unyielding at its heart, A steady light beyond the loudest dream. So weigh all words on scales both just and pure, Let reason guide where passions may mislead, For only truth remains both firm and sure— The equal ground where thought and being meet. ==================END=================== #EqualToTruth, #TruthMatters, #PowerOfTruth, #HonestWords, #PureTruth, #TruthInPoetry, #DeepPoetry, #PhilosophicalPoetry, #MeaningfulVerse, #SoulfulWriting, #PoetryLovers, #WritersOfInstagram, #CreativeWriting, #LiteraryArt, #ModernPoetry, #PoemOfTheDay, #InspiringWords, #WisdomQuotes, #TruthAndWisdom, #AuthenticVoice
