“TRUTH

Whenever you stand up
For your conscience,
Be prepared to be hated
By the wicked.
But never, ever,
Let that scare you;
For whenever you
Stand up for God,
By him,
You are loved.”

“Where Truth Lies by Stewart Stafford

My television lost picture,
Grew lips, told the truth,
Then it finished speaking,
My voice froze after that.

My elderly self turned,
In a white, shining chair,
Cutting my lips from me,
To let the truth ooze out.

The moon in three cups,
Providence's hinterland,
The old bait-and-switch,
Shows truth has no price.

“Truth is the pandemic,
Truth is the terror.
My truth versus your truth,
Your truth versus another.”
