Couth Truth

20 August 2016

The truth walks plainly

In the broad daylight

And strolls around mundanely

Thru the dark of night.

The unadorned truth can be seen

By those who look without guile.

To the liar she’s most obscene.

She gives the braggart no smile.

Truth’s friendly to the plain-spoken

And frequently speaks unobtrusively.

Simple, humble folk find her token

Easily gotten when they act inclusively. 

Truth’ll endure some limited abuse,

But push her boundaries too far

And you’ll regret that you unloose

Anger and scorn from her repertoire.

Yes, exceed truth’s reasonable bounds

And you’ll experience her full fury,

So you’ll keenly wish karmic rebounds

Hadn’t been invented to your misery.

Out on my morning stroll

On a route that's variable,

I spied a slip of paper or debris

On the sidewalk, left carefree.

On a closer look it proved to be

Money in the form of a twenty.

I picked the it up from where it lay,

Put it in my pocket and walked away.
