Truths Journey

Truths Journey

Oh Truth, where art thou
They say you’ll set me free
Fire shot across my bow
Will I always remain at sea

Damocles swords surround me
Future yet revealed
Choose or remain at sea
Pray the truth will be received



It’s a quest mine too partake
Time to journey east
Trojan horses at my gates
I’ll leave tonight before the feast



Travellying far and wide
The path divides by three
“Take a look inside”
A voice calls out to me

Torch in hand I enter the cave
Outside I sense a Tiger
I tell myself I must be brave
Keep ploughing on, I must go higher



Walking up those ancient cave steps
Where countless travelers have tread
Could this be where the Truth is kept
Or will I find more lies instead



At the top I find a statue
On Pythia’s base “k#o# t#y#e#f” is engraved
Those familiar words seem new
Is this the truth that I’ve long for craved

Behind the statue is a secret garden
Two bookcases adorn on either side
The leopard has no need for a pardon
This is the place I will now re-side
