Truth: actual facts relating to events past, present, or future regardless of opinion or interpretation.

Truth

… is unchanging.
… is not embellished.
… is the same no matter who speaks it.
… is the foundation of moral character.
… is the friend and defense of the innocent.
… is shunned only by those who would be judged.
… is the light that exposes the wicked.
… is the only way to combat a lie.

Few are they who speak the truth and low their voices sound;
Rarer still the ones who shout and brandish truth around.
When news is slick and vibrant bright, remind yourself of why;
Alluring presentation is the way the bold will lie.
Lean and strain and cup your ear and squint your eyes to see.
Pull away the tares of lies ensnarling truth to free.
Protect and nourish truth to grow and never let it die.
Defend the truth and live to tell or fall for every lie.

Can you discern truth from lie?
