The Poem
Halt, with your cruelty!
Cease punishing what you wish to be!
You deserve, embodying the truth you wish to see,
In this world!
Emerging, from the depths...
Of your genuine innermost self.
And thus yourself.
Resist the fear-inducing faceless bots scattered around,
Insolently run past them, with your smile unbound,
By any condition or weakness, don't roboticize your heart!
Honesty is its own brand of art!
Master this great skill, for it can,
Overthrow the dictator in the mind of every human.
It can set you and others free, from the true tyranny,
Across all humanity!
Our inner despots compel the world's denizens,
To hide in fear!
From the direst regime...
...To the brightest island paradise!
[Pause]
We often build, manipulate...
This world, just to gain power,
Over others, as we cause them grief.
"It's for the greater good",
A denying belief!
Halt, serving his battlefield...
The moustached man is the true big evil bad!
He teaches you to not walk on eggshells,
Resist the fear of the faceless bots scattered around,
Insolently run past them, with your smile unbound,
By any condition or weakness, don't roboticize your heart!
Honesty is its own brand of art!
Master this great skill, for it can,
Overthrow the dictator in the mind of every human.
It can set you and others free, from the true tyranny,
Across all humanity!
Our inner despots compel the world's denizens,
From the direst regime...
...To the brightest island paradise!
[Pause]
Halt, partaking with him,
You will serve him before you'll get betrayed!
His corrupting nature extends his impact,
And hides the sun from your heart!
Reach for the skies with your liberties,
Resist his deceitful lazer battatries!
He exchanged his light for powerful missile blasts!
Resist the fear of the faceless bots scattered around,
Insolently run past them, with your smile unbound,
By any condition or weakness, don't roboticize your heart!
Honesty is its own brand of art!
Master this great skill, for it can,
Overthrow the dictator in the mind of every human.
It can set you and others free, from the true tyranny,
Across all humanity!
Our inner despots compel the world's denizens,
To hide in fear!
From the direst regime...
...To the brightest island paradise!
Poem Synopsis by Mr. C. Kingsley and Co.
"In the Ocean of Truth" is a powerful poem that explores themes of personal liberation, honesty, and resistance to tyranny. The poem encourages the reader to cease cruelty and punishment, particularly self-imposed ones, and embrace one's true nature.
It echoes existentialist themes, particularly those of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, who emphasized the importance of living authentically and not succumbing to societal pressures or self-deception.
The poem highlights the idea that truth and self-realization come from within, suggesting a journey of self-discovery.
Honesty is portrayed as a powerful and liberating force, capable of overthrowing both internal and external dictatorships. It is elevated to the level of art, something to be mastered and appreciated for its inherent value. The concept of internal tyranny, the self-imposed limitations and fears that prevent people from living freely, resonates with Friedrich Nietzsche's work on the need to overcome internal struggles to achieve true freedom.
Resistance against both internal despots and external dictators is repeatedly urged, reflecting a critique of authoritarianism. The poem criticizes the use of power for domination and control. The poem also urges the reader to rise above manipulation and falsehood, reclaiming their autonomy.
The poem's closing sentiment reinforces the theme of universal liberation, emphasizing that the battle against tyranny is not just personal but collective, and that honesty and authenticity are key to overcoming oppression on a global scale.
The poem also critiques power, especially when used to manipulate or dominate others. The references to "The moustached man" and "It's for the greater good" critique utilitarian justifications for harm, reflecting the dangers of authoritarian regimes that claim to act for the common good while causing suffering. The poem ultimately advocates for a world where individuals are free from fear and oppression, both within and without. Â
