Truthward Steer

UNSUPPORTED CODE Truthward Steer UNSUPPORTED CODE Who knows the right and wrong of foreign wars with truth so hid that none can tell the cause? For fact and fiction come in strange disguise. God’s truth for one is for another lies. Each land should go its people’s chosen way and we, till clear, a cautious distance stay. The world is now a complex game of chess. Cack-handed players leave the board a mess. Each one will say, “the truth is on our side,” but that my friend is all too fatal pride. New fact can turn belief upon its head and leave you with a hand that you may dread. Never be afraid to change your mind, for oft the track we tread is false or blind. Your honour is a precious thing to lose, check well motives of the leaders you may choose. When they say, “the time has come to intervene,” consider every outcome that can mean. Beware of those who woo you with their power for demons rise when ere they sense the hour. As wind and tide combine the ship to veer, hold firmly to your wheel and truthward steer. UNSUPPORTED CODE
