Adeleke Adeite Poet Verse

Truth's Tongue

I wish, I only wish the truth has a tongue...
To tell talebearers they are truly rotten and 
wrong,
while thinking they're sincere and strong...

I know, I truly know lies won't live long...
Though it's tempting like the tales of throng,
it won't stand the sounds of sincerity's song.

I pray, I only pray, we see the signs so 
strong...
That truth has a tongue, it sings a stern song,
and that lies won't live long, though it seems 
strong.

O that we may hear in heart the speech of 
silence,
and sweetly see with senses, the sights of 
suspence,
how purity pitched it's tent in the palace of 
patience.

Time, only time will tell that virtue has a voice,
though the ruthless & riotious seldom rejoice,
When in time, truth speaks, shame is their 
only choice.
