Journey to Truth

I had to do it

I wanted to see what the truth looked like

Rumors had roamed along for so long

Hidden by lies wounding round to a dead end road

I had to go for myself

So I got up, left in the middle of a night’s dream, taken flight

And journeyed to never, never land

To come upon its cave

From which the rest of the world hid, from it

In desire not to know of its where-abouts

Preferring legends, fairy tales, and lore

Anything at all to disguise its where-abouts all the more

But there I was

And there it was

And there we were

There was it

No bigger than a bird

Had four legs that would not run,

A knob (By which it could be stood on its head)

And a tail which could not wag

It had no countenance to speak of; If you could call that a face at all

Eyes abounded every which way

Though I could not determine its focus or sway

And I knew for the certainty in it

It was more aware of me than I was aware of it

And aware it was of men

The bread of their philosophy

The butter of their religion

And the draught drawn from the well of their laws

It looked upon me with shinning eyes

And said all at once

As if to confound the wise

When you are amongst the best men of any community or nation

There will be no birth to discrimination’s, slurs, hatreds, or denigrations

Because true understanding

Would never suffer to mother them
