Howard Osborne Poet Alexandrine

FACTS, NOT FAITH

FACTS, NOT FAITH

A secret now exposed, and insight has its price
The meaning then is clear, and all will know at last
With beauty to explore, the final line is cast
For treasure to be found, persistence will suffice

Belief is not enough, no need to throw the dice
What’s owed will then be paid, as waiting time has passed
A secret now exposed, and insight has its price
The meaning then is clear, and all will know at last

So look one time my friend, just once and never twice
The answers that you seek from distances so vast
Such knowledge can dispel that feeling cold as ice
Embrace the facts not faith, a true iconoclast
A secret now exposed, and insight has its price
The meaning then is clear, and all will know at last
