Poem

Truth

Of truth we can say, we are all in need

How we use it creates God’s division

Between good, evil, right and wrong

Truth is never fragile but does require delicacy

It can be black or white or different shades of hue

We can misuse it, abuse it, distort it and with it cause despair

In discussion we can eliminate it altogether

Too suit our own need

We can manipulate it to bring about sorrow

We can leave it open to interpretation and disguise its real purpose

But we can never ignore it

Together with love it is an ingredient of faith

It is pure only when it is exempt from desires of self justification

In its purity it is the basic essence of reason

When used to clarify decisions, it is the ultimate influence

Truth is not dependant on age or experience

Truth does not compromise or need illusion,

And never needs to justify itself

It can only be wise when used wisely

But is there a truth absolute? Yes

It’s called God’s truth and it’s found in the

Word’s of Jesus

You see, without truth, we cannot hope too understand faith without faith we cannot understand truth

And without both we cannot comprehend love
