Truth is not debatable
for integrity defends itself
it is not held captive to the dogma of religion
or held bondage within the framework of theology
it is not trapped inside the walls of College classrooms,
or oppressed by the lips of Baptist ministers,
It wears no stars of David
Sings no Islamic melodies
Truth is not religious
And yet is no atheist
Truth has always been
And always will be
It is neither canonized
nor done away with
not stolen away
or traded amidst the bowels of slave ships
truth is not lynched,
nor shackled against the cages of fear
it refuses to shake hands with deception,
and will never embrace the arms of uncertainty
because truth is always certain
It is sure to be like nothing you can ever imagine
but be everything you’ve ever hoped for
Truth is limitless
And humble
Needs no acknowledgement
And yet wears a crown
Truth needs no confirmations
and yet rules
wears no flowing garments
Is lowly
and yet royal
accepted by the faithful
and resisted by those who are afraid.
