Michael Holtmann Poet Free verse

Truth ought to be taught

Truth ought to be taught
The triumphs of good to evil
Heroes and bad guys

But we are all now so polarized
Gone are the days of the black and white truth
But instead it’s that of the Red and Blue

For truly, it’s the triumphs of evil to good
And bad guys
and more bad guys

Covered by the sands of time
Emerging is the popular truth written by the Victors
Leaving even losing sides to the hands of bias

So, If truth ought to be taught
What truly is the truth?

I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This is truth.
