Poem
Absolute truth, both mystery… and paradox. “You make me wonder if you exist or not?” The Greeks glimpsed you in circles and squares, The medievals revered you in scriptures and prayers, The moderns doubted you in so many facts and proofs. Absolute truth your a hidden treasure in the dark. I’ve been searching for you with a lantern and a map. Absolute truth, a misty mountain peak, We’ve been climbing towards you with a rope and a pick. Absolute truth, a real puzzler and a wonder. We’ve been solving you with a clue and a key. The enlighteners searched for you in nature and reason The romantics sang about you in passion and vision Whereas existentialists certainly questioned you in freedom and action. Absolute truth: are you actually still alive and relevant today? You’ve been inspiring us with your beauty and your grace. Absolute truth, you are most diverse and multifaceted. You’ve been expressing yourself in every culture and every race. Absolute truth, you are so complex and yet, paradoxical. You’ve been challenging me to question and embrace. The analytics dissected you in symbols and many signs. Whereas continentals explored you in history and culture. Yes, those postmoderns deconstructed you in relativity and plurality. Absolute truth, you invite us to seek doubt, affirm, and critique. You show us the value of curiosity and humility. Absolute truth: you challenge us to dialogue, dignity, listen, respect, and appreciate. You teach us of the importance of diversity and empathy. Absolute truth, you call us to transcend, transform, love, and willingly serve. You lead us to the ultimate goal of harmony and peace. The scientists explain you in matter and energy, The believers proclaim you in faith and grace, The artists create you in beauty and meaning. But the needle spins wildly, a chilling impart… "Absolute Truth is a compass with a broken heart."
