Truth is but an empty thing a word that twists and turns Where some people say it sings others claim it burns And when it seems it’s spoken so many will believe While some will take it as a lie in thoughts that they conceive "I speak the truth", "I speak the truth" You can hear all around but everyone speaks differently So where can it be found? Wherever you may find it there still will be a few Who do not like the truth you say and toss it back at you Catch it, bend and smash it then throw the word away Compassion, friendship, gentleness Those are the words that stay A true friend will believe you without the need for proof For friendship knows no boundaries when it is built on truth *** Augustus 11, 2017 Copyright © Chris Green and Darren White

My sentiments exactly Darren. Love the way you and Chris write, and this poem is so fitting at this time. Seems like everyone wants the truth these days, and the proof as well. True friends speak the truth-no proof needed. Great collab my friends...Maria xx

Bravo Darren and Chris we see it all too often with fake friends and its so difficult to know who to trust and who to believe and some are so convincing they don't know what the truth is as they are such experienced liars - sadly have had to deal with this in my family :-( :-( hugs jan xx

The foundation of any worthy relationship is truth, and when that foundation is established it allows for trust and mutual respect. You two are writing poetry that everyone should read and take seriously.

A positively perfect pen you two. And full of truth! After I suffered a serious head wound I had but one friend I knew I could ask if I was different; that special kind of friendship is rare and cherished dearly. Wonderful day to you both! xomo x2
