There is Power in the Truth
Courage is required to speak the truth
As soon as the words leave the lips
an onslaught of attack begins.
Those who are invested in keeping the truth
hidden perceive a threat and mount a
strategy to suppress the truth sayer.
We do not really wish to believe we live in a world
Like this
But we do.
Ask yourself why you stay silent
the answer will surely be fear
instinctively we know that difficulty
will come upon us, when we speak the Truth.
False power, that which is based in suppression, threats
deception and agendas will go to any length
to stop the disclosure of truth
the reaction immediately indicates there is that
which is hidden.
A truth sayer has no need to hide, for all that is
within is already in the open
There is no need to mount a strategy for there is nothing to protect.
The truth sayer simply needs to walk forward
Continuing to speak the truth
And continuing to have Courage
Despite the attacks.
This is surely not an easy walk, but in
time all things are revealed.
It is nature’s Way.
