Hating All Things False - Psalm 119: 104

There's nothing so very disappointing
as falsehood when least expect it
it's so opposite to what's true
as scripture shows it's a no fit

God opposes all that's false
for His standard is always truth
He can't stand lies nor deceit
even when it looks so smooth

As God's light opposes darkness
so does truth from what's false
He expects His believers to follow suit
obeying whenever divinity calls

Our conscience tells us to hate
everything false rejecting out of hand
for it never can be for you right
as truth only will eternally stand

AUTHOR NOTES: based on "hate everything false"...Psalm 119:104

Hate is such a destructive thing (always) and "truth" is often subjective and slanted; one man's truth is another's falsehood.
