Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Lyric

The Truth Remains

When the darkness dies
with every morning sunrise
always the truth remains

When the murky skies
of deception and lies
are made clear by winds of levity

Then all the smoggy hate dissipates,
and every foul injustice abates,
but the truth will still remain

O marvelous light
O wondrous wind,
cleanse the earth with truth
as always, as often

When the rain begins
to wash away the mire of sin,
only the truth shall remain

When the fire mountain awakes
to burn away all hardened hearts,
the igneous Rock of truth remains

O glorious rain
O purifying fire,
cleanse the earth with truth
as often as you desire

Let the tree of Zion take root,
and let her branches spread wide,
everywhere on the face of the earth

Let the sweet truth in her fruit,
and the medicinal truth in her leaves,
be tasted freely by all at the sacred rebirth

White Wolf October 14, 2016 at 9:51 PM In time, the truth will alway prevail! Well penned RW... The old Irish warriors called the Fianna had a motto that when like this: with truth in our hearts, strength in our arms, and consistency in our tongues, you had to be a Fili, or poet first to join.

Constance La France October 14, 2016 at 8:02 PM Freddie, wonderful write.. Freddie Robinson Jr. October 14, 2016 at 8:46 PM Ty, Broken Wings. Truth is the purest form of communication. Always has been, always will be. I appreciate you reading my work. I will make sure to stop by your place and read yours. BTW, that is a lovely pseudonym. You can call be RW (Romantic Warrior.) I'm a lover, and a staunch fighter for love. Gotta go ... read your work. Bye. Love and peace to you.

Cheryl Hoffman October 14, 2016 at 6:30 PM Very nice; especially like the last stanza part!:) Freddie Robinson Jr. October 14, 2016 at 8:49 PM So glad you liked it, Cheryl. Our blessed end is so much more than what we see today. Of course, that is because, as you well know, we walk by faith, not by sight. Love your loving support. Much love to you and yours.
