A Quote by: Saint Augustine
Truth is like a Lion, you don't have to defend it, let it loose, it will defend itself.
Layers upon layers of deceit, when we practice duplicity
we lose the way of authentic self;
When truth has been buried within the walls of denial,
the soul suffers great loss;
Ask a child or an old one if they know truth when they see it
ask yourself this,
Can a bushel of light hide underneath a barrel
without bursting out from the cracks?
Drive the forklift of truth, take it to the penthouse
for lying will only keep you in the jailhouse of suffering
Truth is best served warm, with compassion and empathy
be as true to yourself and others, as you can.
