Cup of Truth

When
Meteors Smash
Mountains Rise
Wars Clash
What survives?
Truth

When
Words Fly
Lies Mount
Anger Cries
What counts?
Truth

No matter what
Befalls each one
It matters not
When said and done 
Thru’ all the pain 
What shall remain?
Truth

Beyond our Face
Thru’ the Mask
We have in its place
What is our task?
Truth

No matter how
We dress it up
We must now
Sip the Cup
Of Truth
