The Nature of Truth

Truth need not make a noise,

 so why is it that people feel the need to speak up for it? 

 If it is truth,

 it will stand up silently, 

against the loud crashing waves of slander that lap up upon its sides in futility. 

And I say again, 

why speak in the name of truth

 when anything spoken is a testament against it, 

for truth need not make a noise 

to withstand the ceaseless waves of lies 

that resound and echo about it; 

the truth will not errode into a sea of deception, 

but will only become more definate, 

more solid, 

within it, 

for the lies 

that once clung to the truth will be washed away 

and the truth shall be ever clearer, 

ever nearer, 

to the sight of the beholder, 

with lies flowing all about it, 

giving it starkly night to its bright shimmer; 

like stars shine in darkly night.  

Truth now in sharp contrast, 

now showeth forth less dimmer, 

in sick brothly simmer of all lies, 

and now, 

without light of glimmer, 

as conterfeit as dark room is night, 

truth shall be heard 

by all none but eyes, 

and be seen

 by all none, but no sight; 

those who

in it walking, 

make strides 

under truth’s dark hiding light.

-Steven Sleight

i cannot utter but a lie unless His voice flows through me

i speak a lie, 

for any stammer 

i make in the name of truth

weakens it.

i have no fear of a lie

for surely my 

God 

is stronger than 

my lies about

Him.

i write,

not

because

i know the truth,

but because

i know 

what 

i write 

is surely a lie.

a dark lie 

that loses all being

in the shinning face

of God 

in His 

Glory. 

Genesis of Cognition

I've fallen off the horse. 

These words,  

they bear no sense. 

These statements are of no construction, 

but mere fragments of my brain.

Philosophy, 

Theology, 

the quest, 

all in the same. 

Man fails to grasp of the eternal; 

Upon which  

he hurls his  

mortal stain. 

We know nothing of our own accord, 

my predicament is yours the same. 

I've fallen off the horse never to brandish it's reins again. 

In this vast state of humanity, 

one cannot fail to find a friend. 

This simple truth be known, 

for all are of adam kin. 

It is this fateful fall that  

reveals itself in hearts of men, 

for it is in this event  

our fragment and flawed  

cognitions of God lay within.
