Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

My Truth Or Your Truth

My truth or your truth
If you know of this
How could you know of that 
If you know the way 
How come you still got 
Questions 

My truth or your truth 
Show me who know all 
And I will assure you 
He know nothing 
For how can it be all known
When change is constant 

My truth or your truth 
My truth might be the problem
Of another man
Yet my truth still my truth 
For the less humanity today
We lack make my truth 
So dear as a light

My truth or your truth 
Civilise me not 
Teach me not of hate
Lead me not astray 
For in love is the truth I know 

My truth or your truth
You gave me your religion
You gave me your rules
You gave me your education
You gave me your principles
Yet you gave me not my freedom
And your truth am not suppose 
To follow all time 
For every one got an opinion
In this life I wish you let me be
For I have my mind
Not your truth.
