The Fountain of Truth

It's a spring eternal,
    In the mind of man.
With a perpetual flow,
    As if God's master plan.

At times, the waterway,
    Gets interrupted and clogged.
Where pressures can build,
    Though it's often camouflaged.

Just like busy, little beavers,
    Will pack mud and debris.
So too does mankind, though
    It's seldom a guarantee.

Yet no matter the obstruction,
    Water eventually finds its way.
Though when it bursts, it can flood
    Through . . . and ruin a liar's day.

Yes, I completely agree. Such a vivid way to describe someone who lies. The *Truth* will always emerge, and the last stanza says it all. You have created a Masterpiece, and I'm placing this in my favorites. Well done, Timothy. Many wonderful blessings to you. ~ Brandy
