Truth

Truth is like fire that sometimes burns the skin
Truth is like water that innocence bathes in
Truth comes in many forms both bold and aloof
Truth was born with burden, some call it proof
Truth often goes AWOL when a nation goes to war
Truth is swept beneath the rug on a bureaucratic floor
Truth is the shadow of its brother we call lie
Truth has a father, you can see him in your eye
Truth is elusive yet it exists throughout our history
Truth is at the bottom of a well full of mystery
Truth is like conscience, one either lives it or they don’t
Truth is a two way mirror, some people look, some people won’t
Truth once lived in every heart, before it got defiled
Truth departs from the body of those who falsely smile
Truth sometimes is the only thing a man can call his own
Truth is a barometer that should be in every home
Truth, someone once said, will set your soul free
Truth is, you must have a soul, for God to help thee
