Absolute Truth

absolute truth is
right or wrong - no exceptions
and never changes

absolute truth is
true for you and true for me
and never changes

absolute truth is
basis for a moral world
and never changes


Judgment

you ask I not judge
when you have judged that I have
I judge your actions
to be either right or wrong
judge not who you are

eternal judgment
will be on last day by a
holy and just God


Lies

vocal or silent
a lie intends to deceive
no truth in lying
hypocrisy is a lie
in deed rather than in words

if I disagree
you perceive intolerance
you feel offended
perception does not mean truth
feelings are not always real

Yes, truth is hard for many to understand. As Pilate asks “What is truth.” John 18:38. Many I feel try for the old “Jedi mind tricks” as if what they say we must believe. Love your write!
