Truth Known
Not as inherited cause renown
some truth's obliteration halts,
rescinds the core that I might know
as mark of gesturing life's exalt!
Determination's compass route
becomes the beacon of all strife,
the fools that play my pride in doubt
do edge not out my conscience life!
Indignity, the coping's craze
must not let grief alter my course
wherein rebuttal is the phase
that place of growing must enforce!
In increments build character's prose
as terse in comment, moment known
doubt registers, so truth's enclose
challenged adversity then prone!
This sane deliverance I must own
or any and all bounty's role
is lost to expectation's hone
and guesswork's challenge of console!
