Fatal Folly
A fabulist can take the truth and spin it, change it, plan it,
but then it is no longer truth, for truth is carved in granite.
The real truth is indelible. Permanent. Etched in stone.
Don’t mess with it and call it truth. You must leave truth alone.
It can’t accommodate a stretch. It’s fierce in resolution.
It’s not right to bend it simply to find a solution.
Truth is truth and fabrication is another matter,
so do not conjure up a tale and claim it’s not the latter.
Though presidents and kings and poets scratching in their dormer
might for their single purposes stray away from the former,
there must be someone willing to call out their acts as ruthless,
for there’s no folly greater than to be led by the truthless.

As Solomon said, “God made man simple, but they have sought out many inventions.”
Or as Jesus said, “…light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
We humans are great at sidestepping the truth.

Thanks, Rob. Boy have we learned this lesson over and over during the past 4 years. Hope that enough of us did to swing the election and start the pendulum moving in the opposite direction.
