the truth will rise like a hungry tide
fraud and pride will have nowhere to hide

When one line is not enough

Yours is a lovely and meaningful couplet, Natasha! It is said that truth is powerful and it will prevail! In my country we have a saying about truth that goes: "Oil rises above water". Regards // paul

Nicely written, Natasha, you are the ever optimistic rebel. I keep telling myself that that truth will prevail and yet fraud and pride are still prevalent all around me. I will keep the faith. John

People can’t handle the truth unless it is to their benefit.
