Truth be told,
Wise words given down
Through the ages speak of
Truth, knowledge and wisdom.
Just as light shining through
Beveled glass reveals the
True colors of the prism,
So too will be the truth we see
When we fully heed the words
Of He who has Risen.
Reality checks and balances
Sarcastic speech
From the mouths of fools
Who only seek
To degrade and destroy
All that is good.
Putting pieces in their places
While wiping smugness from
Self-righteous faces.
Truth be told,
Mindsets need changing
Lives need rearranging
Morals and values need
Reassessment to avoid
Total conflict and resentment
So peace can once again
Flourish within us.
Narrow is the lit pathway
With guidelines to follow.
To stray off course only leads to
A broader path of uncertainty.
Temptation’s influence remains
An ever opposing force against us
From indulgences to worldly ways.
Judgment day for one and all
Will come when due.
Until then, do your best
To follow his ways
Study quietly, do your business
Work with your hands as He said
So you can walk to those with less
And lack nothing. (Paraphrased)
Because when it’s all said and done
The only opinion of you
That truly matters is One.
If you don’t want to be left
You have to get right.
Truth be told.
