Truth Be Told

You cannot audit
my mind
nor still my voice.
Truth—the breastplate
of mind and voice—Is.
Truth needs no clarity;
and cannot be silenced.

Like light, it cannot be hidden;
like the sky, it cannot fall.
Like time, truth cannot be enslaved;
set you mind
to the true time and neither can you.

And this, brothers and sisters, is as true
as God is—The Truth!  Word!
