POEM - The Search for the Truth

The Search for Truth


Through the sands of time
I’ve searched for the truth
Over the hills of stone and lime
Never a doubt of my mission’s worth

Day by day, week by week
Always on this never-ending quest
The sand will never leak
Futile thoughts I’ve never guessed

Met many who claimed their power
Men of wealth and much grandeur
Their sweet wine would become sour
Their wise words would turn to slander

Time after time they’ve let us down
Their promises would be so empty
Words of filth and heinous noun
Never utter a touch of sympathy

Is my mission doomed to fail?
Could be there be no “god” worthy of humanity?
No leader to salute, no Caesar to hail?
Is there no guidance through this insanity?

I had to escape, take a respite
To the wilderness I headed in due haste
Along a river next to hills of height
Peace and harmony at once at last


As I took in nature in its splendor
I began to ponder my life’s task
Full of memories of misadventure
No answers to the questions asked

Surely the animals have no belief
Of an imaginary friend on a cloud
Nothing is perfect, not even a leaf
But one look at a wolf and you know it’s proud

The wolf pack has no need of such bother
Their guidance comes from the Alpha male
And just as much from the mother
Raise a winner, they never fail

My quest is over, I can rest
The truth is within us all
Raise a family, do your best
Climb the ladder, don’t let them fall
