This poem for me captures that reality very well. It was revelation and truth all rolled into one. But I must admit I hated the Gaga part only because I hate her. After moving beyond the concept of her I was able to embrace your words and sadly agree with them. Thank for sharing this poem. I enjoyed it...even with that lady in it lol.Robert Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536151998025229196noreply@blogger.com
