What Is Truth

WHAT IS TRUTH as you knot your braids you ask the Lord: what is truth? — dust cover shut tight the light pains your eyes wearing darkest shades of sin — the good book beckons ear plugs squeeze out praise pews are painted arctic blue — sermon slams iceberg millstone about neck truth plunges into the sea — delusion complete 1/18/2017 SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH CONTEST Sponsor: Madison Demetros “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” “What is truth?” Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the jews and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. John 18:37-38 (NIV)
