The Sweet Soul of Truth....

Fore whom would dare,to approach with downcast eye's,
unable to look,into thine mind....

Fore whom is incapable,of bearing the sword of truth,
break like straw,like the many uncouth....

Fore whom do we answer,if not first ourselves,
measuring footsteps hidden in stealth....

How do we justify,a meaningless existence,
...only from compassion's loving persistence....
