Array ( [sid] => 164320 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Our Obligation to Seek The Truth [time] => 2011-01-18 07:06:38 [hometext] => [bodytext] => When you find the truth it cannot be broken
belonging to the sacred word it remains unspoken
as mind and body attach to it and become as one
recognize then your journey ahead will have begun

Reason and logic to one another they belong
necessarily maintaining distance from the norm
truth will forever be that one guiding light
subduing everything false under its might

If the truth is what you seek, you must first prepare
challenges you will face, and dangers to beware
if you resign yourself to accept that which is right
know for your very life, for this alone do you fight

With the existence of evil in this world, have we been surrounded
yet, our ability to choose good over evil, is a truth well founded
the power to achieve our internal peace, lies in our very hands
no escaping this obligation, to pursue truth is what He commands

A person's true essence, is only his soul from within
his body must remain, after sullied from a lifetime of sin
before us are many paths in this world, good, bad, life and death
our goals are the same, to choose life before that final breath

As our souls begin to soar, many awaiting our heavenly trial
taken from us now, freewill to change that lifetime of denial
this light of truth while alive, we still could have acquired
what remains for us to correct, now that we have expired

What words can be said, and what tears will be left to shed
having lived that life, sadly, so void of truth, as one dead
last opportunities do not squander, eternal life is within reach
but first you have to be willing to change, to your heart beseech [comments] => 2 [counter] => 141 [topic] => 19 [informant] => 2bpositive [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

I loved this poem. Truth is something that many people hide from. I have always tried to see the harsh reality, even when I know it's going to hurt. I feel it has made me stronger. It is easy to hide from the truth. It is very hard to face it.

Bravo!! A very good, strong piece of writing. Truth is the only way forward in life, to lie is to deny yourself the opportunity of a life of peace. Well expressed, well written, well done.
