Nowhere can the truth be found,
not in noble books leather-bound
for words are mere approximations
yet lay the groundwork for all nations.

lots to love about this ... line 4 almost wrote itself, "A president replete with insult and insinuations."

MAY i add, humbly, that George in the very first comment here, summed the impact of this piece impeccably. Anil Deo - shalom, shalom Poet!

how true; words laid the groundwork for my notions of BRAHMA-VISHNU-SIVA but research shows a looser "communion" than Father-Son-Holy Spirit. WRD and SPIRIT took me closer to Truth than all the books (bought, stored, read) ever did for me. Thanks for 4 lines that keep on giving ... Anil Deo (in His Shalom4us)

Same as beauty, truth is found in individual assessment, although some 'truths' are common to all when seen through an honest perspective. Regards // paul
