Veritas by Max Burchett
by Max Burchett
Hard to know
What is real now.
Who to believe,
Who will deceive.
This is truth
As I know it,
Yet I never say, my truth,
Since surely truth is absolute.
I will say to you.
I believed some lies.
Got pulled in, it’s true.
Could have been my demise.
But I saw the light from a song,
For now through a glass darkly.
Now as I go along,
All said is seen more clearly.
Strange man with the sign
Saying, the end is near,
Maybe not for the world he means,
But for each and everyone.
That I suppose sadly is true.
