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
