Memories shape the present—time holds sway,
Fears linger, a bittersweet display.
Ideas clash, false doctrines collide,
Yet truth endures, no longer denied.
Flavors dance upon the tongue’s embrace,
But before we speak, seek God’s grace.
Steady the trembling voice, take heed—
For spoken truth can plant the seed.
With words of spirit, hearts may mend,
Unveiling flaws we can transcend.
In truth, don’t falter, let kindness be the guide,
as a light that shines where darkness tries to hide.
Embrace dissent, and let courage be seen.
For character shapes within the dream.
Our voices rise, unbowed, unbroken,
In defiance of what’s left unspoken.
Amidst the sadness, anger’s weight,
We face confusion–Challenge fate.
With steady hearts, we won’t retreat,
But lift our voices, bold and fleet.
A mind locked tight, a silenced plea,
Cannot break free to light’s decree.
So rise we shall, with purpose bright,
Facing shadows with fearless sight.
Consequences fade when truth is sought,
And chains of silence come to naught.
Let us not fear, but stand with pride,
In open hearts where ideas collide.
In unity’s strength, we’ll find the way,
To hear all voices, come what may.
And in the space where thoughts align,
Compassion blooms and our worlds entwine.
Embrace The Truth
