Truth and Time

Truth  & Time

Truth does not ask for belief, it exists
Time does not provide relief, it persists

Truth is not relative, it is supreme
I can quote examples umpteen
Time is relative and yet it is supreme
Every second is first, that’s secret prime

Truth that is harsh, gives pain
It better be buried
Time that is wasted, is nobody’s gain
It’s better to be hurried

Just ‘cause buried, Truth doesn’t die
Time asks questions, none can reply
Truth that is timely, is worth in gold
Time that’s truthful, is never sold.
