Truth, Doubt, and Death

What strength does Truth have in its grasp?
It remains, and yet, so easy
Is it manipulated by others.

Perhaps with Truth should Doubt be pared;
Understanding Truth is there now, 
We must be never sure that we're correct.

Pursuing Truth will bring us close,
But the Doubt will keep us away
From falling, hard of heart, to Death.
