Truthless Forelock
When I heard the verse: "truthless, sinful forehead"; I get flashbacks of the accident I had a few years back. These flashbacks expose the pain that I felt and just talking about it makes me feel like I still have the piece of broken glass stuck in my forehead. Sometimes I feel the scares caused by the painful car accident to make sure that the piece of glass is not there anymore.
The forehead that is full of stories. The forehead that made me remember the verses and prayers related to the sins and good deeds that will be shown on our forehead when we die. All this made me more attached to my forehead and led me to find out that the forehead is the part of the body which is responsible for lying, sinning, making decisions and guiding our behavior.
