every one of us––
all of us––
take an oath
to the greater
constitution––
the constitution
of truth
being human
we may never
know or reach
the truth––
yet we are
blessed by a
planet with
a pole star
to guide us
our lawcourts
have long pursued
an adversarial practice
of reasonable
doubt––
we are left
to fight
without reason
filled
with doubt
we, the people
cannot survive
without
truth––
of our surroundings
of our loved ones
of our very
souls
our lives are not
fake news––
our friends are not
liers
we have to
over-come
all confusion
in ourselves
to balance on
two feet
we can’t be human
without inviting
others into the
open-ness
of our hearts
& when we hug them––
there we find
truth
