Legend tells
Once long ago
The Truth and Lie
Was in console
"For when mankind reach
this road
He will not know which
road to go"the Lie boldly stated
"But with our guidance
To point the way
A traveller will not be disway
The direction he must partake"the Truth so certainly proclaimed
And so it went
Not long after
A weary traveller came to be
At the crossroad in the road
And whom should wait
To greet upon
But only Truth and Lie as one
Pray me thee,
The traveller spoke
Which way must i partake?
"Come thoust ask but only spoke
To us only both?"the Lie said
Yes,the traveller answered back
If thine can but just show
"Take heed,"the Truth said
"And be but wise in choice,
For one of us will tell the truth
The other lie instead"
And as if one
Both hands of two
The truth point left
The lie point too
The traveller but confused
"Heed my word,
Not once but two
One road will follow
The other true
One road to death
Awaits on you"they both spoke
in unison
The traveller thought
And later asked
Pray tell,may i ask
Another question of you?
The Truth replied
"If thou desire
but hurry up upon the hour"
The lie echo'd the Truth
The traveller thought and
Start to speak:
If one dies upon this shore
Is death but just the opened door
Tell me,which way does his soul
Travel to reach life once more?
The lie spoke first
"Its gone before
Death indeed does close the door
And right points life once before"
The traveller smiled
And turned his gaze
To change the choice
He almost made
And as he walked towards the right
The Truth but cried
The lie despite
And both could not succeed
For lie told true
And truth had lied
When both point left and none right
For Truth cant lie
It pointed left
But lie had said
To turn to right
And thus the traveller knew despite
The one way both
Had denied
That left was wrong
And right was right
