Verity of Truth
Truth* upholds golden rule’s functional verity
Authored by the Lord of supreme sovereignty
Loving others as one’s self with active surety
Promoting genuine kindness midst gracious duty
Combatting greediness-caused grievous enmity…
Such we have learned from our homes where starts charity
Making families stay in caring unity
Despite sibling quarrels over what is petty
Putting end to conflicts and their severity
Since reconciliation becomes priority
With pardon, understanding and respect’s beauty---
Let’s win against fake news for good fellowship’s perpetuity.
Truth** braces justice and joyous peace-settlement
Propped by God, steadfast Anchor of perfect judgment
Driving soundly blest compassionate engagement
For productive partnership and development
Against any destructive aggression-movement…
Yet when deceit lurks for selfish gain’s enhancement
Igniting battles along falsehood’s involvement
Causing global unrest and growth impediment
Truth is first casualty for lies’ aggrandizement
Jeopardizing golden-rule’s love-based agreement
Robbing children of its triumphant fulfillment---
Let’s win against foes of truth-reign toward freedom-advancement.
Didactic in rhyme form
*John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
**2Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
