Poem wrtten in the Desert

Pursuit of Truth

Carnal hands will never touch the stars; they are much too high, only a walk with God will bring them nigh.

Selfish pursuits will not take us there; our hearts are much to deceitful to make it fair.

What appears as truth in the human mind may not be what it has been; not that truth changes just the views of men.

Religious societies have shaped our thoughts to receive only what they have taught; in the eyes of God they are at naught.

His eyes only convey what His Spirit has wrought.

When human opinion of truth is wrong, it must be remembered who sets upon the throne, for truth is a deity all of its own; Truth bows to no man weak or strong.
