In the realm of truth and its design
Let us embark on a quest to refine,
To explore the truth, both wild and tame,
And demystify doubts that whisper our name.
Validation, the yearning to improve,
Space of delude is a subtle grasp, spry to remove
The mask of slander that we often wear,
Magnifying the murmurs of verity is so rare.
In this realm of words, where veracity lies,
Doubters roam, their skepticism in disguise
But dread not, for there is a task to be done,
To cast the dictum of verity, to detect the one
Who can bestow testimony, an avowal so strong,
To convert the moot, to adduce them wrong.
Beware the meretriciousness that may be disclosed,
Accuracy is what we abide by, not supposed.
Skepticism may veil our minds, so we must foresee,
The verity that lies beneath the surface, to set us free.
Ferret out the fallacies, the false axioms we hold,
To uncover the inherent truth, so bold.
We are experts in this legitimate query.
But, suspicious of the unresolved theory.
Assume we spot an asserter to negate.
Let us not blur the borders of real hate.
Who assures us of the truism we seek,
With every oath and avowal, they speak.
But beware of the untruthful, historically known,
For their niceties are but falsities sown.
The essence of our oath is to recover
The recoverable, to uncover
The verity that has been hidden away,
In the depths of history's decay.
