Pillars of Truth
Face, race, pace
The ways of the earth
Much similar to that between falsehood and truth
One has to walk through each
One cannot choose either
But in one hemisphere
There remained some pillars of truth
Perhaps near some shore
Or in some fairy land
Printing some false guesses
I point out my falsehood
But I guess
Were those pillars anything extraordinary?
By any means an exception.
If on the shore
They would be washed by the cold waves
Like every pillar even of falsehood
If on a fairyland
Children would play around
As would be with any other
If in my lawn
I would not even discover them
As happens with the others
Perhaps they are somewhere
In a part of this huge sphere
Perhaps they have the same destinies
And little less achievements
Than those pillars of falsehood.
Somewhere they might stand with a little less fame
Or by luck lame
The pillars of truth.
