Truth

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS

Truth

 

I am a man of a mighty nation

I am a man of the world

I do not pretend to have the answers

I have no faith in those who do

 

The truth does not belong to me

It does not belong at all

It exists apart from the world of man

It is neither old nor new

 

The truth cannot be lost or found

Though it can easily be obscured

You might chasten it for a century

But what’s true is always true

 

There are those who claim to worship it

But truth will not be worshipped

Truth is as truth has always been

Without regard for me or you
