It has been said
truth should be shouted
from the tops of the mountains
Truth defined
a fact
or belief
accepted as true
What kind of definition is that
using truth to define truth
to me it is saying
truth is as we see it
So whose truth should that be
my truth
your truth
what truth should be shouted from the mountains
Truth that brings about battles
between neighbors
destroying civility
Truth that sends countries to war
leaving death and dismemberment
in its wake
Cannot our truth be told
civilly
respectfully
without words
that become infused with intolerance
of others and their beliefs
It's been a long time
the words are still the same
Can't we all just get along!
Or at least try
