The Truth

THE TRUTH
The truth
I can feel it I can touch it
Even in the night I can see it
It is everlasting like the sun
It keeps me warn
In the winter
The wind is cool
It melts the ice in the summer
It may be inconvenient and bitter
But it is better than falsehood
It is undoubtedly the best way to live
Even if you are poor
Say the truth
And in doing so you have extended your youth
Even if you are jobless 
Say the truth
And you will become truly blessed and occupied
The truth 
I can hear it
Even in a crowded place
It only takes you to listen
And look at that liar’s face
As I look into his eyes I see the truth
The reality that my listener is not what he claims be
Despite all that talk of wealth and fantasy
If you desire good in life 
Why not seek the truth
It is the way of God
And it is the heavenly fruit
The truth I can taste it
Even if it is heavenly spiced with aloes and pepper
I know its delicacy
And I can smell the aroma of truth
Immediately as I walk into the room
It blossoms like a purple Rose
If you put it in a time capsule
In a thousand years it is still the same
When plants wean and die
The truth merely fly
I will hear it
If it move it to another galaxy
I will see it
The truth I can feel it
It is a bit rough but my palm knows it feel
Even if you cover it up with velvet
I can still feel
Even if I wear a glove on both hands I can tell it is the truth
