The Truth

1. This is Truth that to you, mortals is now speaking, I’m the one that in the kernel of everything that exists resides,* That no human has ever seen**, up to this very moment and No one, I affirm will able be, eyes to set upon my Divine essence!*** 2. I know, the vast majority of you believe to be with me, very Well acquainted, Some even declare that the best of my friends are and Instead of me, they could do the talking Even there are those who boast to be my associates and The ultimate reality only them to know Thus Each one of them “his truth” declares according to his doctrine, Fervently maintaining the veracity of his established principles, The principles of his policy, his history, his religion, his morals That with me, the Truth, I assure you, have very little in common. 3. So, I the Truth, with many faces came to you be known As different colors are always used to paint my visage, Colors with hues of their opinions to better fit their purpose According to the era they are living in, their reason and Understanding 4. If a day, I the Truth, among them decided just a walk take Certain am I that no one of them, would able be, me to recognize For the bigotry that is deep in their uninformed heart planted Unable has made their eyes the supreme Truth to identify 5. Enraged am I, of all those criminals who kill in my name, Regardless of their color, creed, sex, ethnicity, For even if a little bit they knew me, never would they Commit a crime For I, the Truth next to God live. It’s from Him I draw my existence, Impossible thus for me it is, divinity’s will to disobey And commend someone to do something that is immoral Because God is love*** and love, you should know my friends, Never commits a crime! © Demetrios Trifiatis 07 OCTOBER 2014 * There is nothing that we with certainty know because the truth is found in the depths of each thing! Democritus, Greek philosopher, 5th century B.C., the father of the atomic theory **No man has ever perceived the truth, neither anyone in the future will know it but only opinions of things we will have for the reality of things! Xenophanes, Greek philosopher 6th century B.C. ***John, epist. First, verse 8. “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love!

Yes, Connie, I revisited your fine poem written the 28 September 2014 and truly, although on another subject, is like this one but your poem and my poem are closer when you read my ZEUS written on the 09 September 2014! You see, Connie, God and Love are my favored subjects that is why from my 465 poems more than 150 are dealing with this subject. I am happy that more people think the same way and not only us two! Thank you my dear friend and may God bless you!

A profound and captivating poem, Demetrios. There are some who feel only they know the truth; they are blinded by their own arrogance. You expounded upon the quotes in awesome style. We could have quite a philosophical discussion about this. But, truth be told, I'd enjoy even more seeing your handsome face. Best wishes in the contest! Love and blessings, Carolyn
