Virtue

They proclaim virtue They have found The Truth No more fear of death Their belief is absolute Nothing could change their mind Conflicting evidence is fake “It's the devil” They say confidently; a pious mistake The Truth claim is made with minimal knowledge All the while acting wise They can't see the contradiction They're exactly like those who they despise Virtue is the seeking of truth With no predetermined belief in mind Virtue is not seeking confirmation The truth is indifferent to you and I The road to virtue is lonely The path is covered with weeds and vines Ironically it has been said the road is narrow and few will find it But it will be the most beautiful journey of your life
