What is Truth?

What is truth? proud Pilate mused
Contemplating condemnation
While in his court stood Truth accused
As deceiver of the nation–
An unfounded accusation.

Found no fault yet had Him slain–
Took the path of least resistance;
Expedience to truth’s disdain
Would appease the mob’s insistence–
Truth drowned out by their persistence.

What is truth? You must decide;
It’s life’s great consideration–
If Christ was Truth personified
To accomplish man’s salvation
Truth’s rejection brings damnation!

The truth of God is absolute,
No subtraction or addition,
Though men may lie and convolute
With new scheme or definition
Truth has only One edition.
