Truth Down Below

Truth Down Below

Adam and Eve, how beautiful thou art

God’s handiwork woven from dreams

The hue, the shapes, the breath, the heart

With thy nakedness, you meet the elements,

The wind, the rain, the sun,

And feel the breath of God against your skin

If you seek through garments

The freedom of privacy

You will find it to be a harness

And a shield against the beauty that

Was meant to be a work of artistic merit

Let truth be known in all its magnificence

Let truth be known in all its nakedness

Yet truth is a beast from below with

Sharp stingers that lay at the bottom

Oceans of other truths swirl about

Cosmetics smeared on to

Wipe away the beauty

Smiles painted on to

Cover up the misery

Fabrication manufactured

From the fear of truth

Yet truth with its stingers in position

Shall rise up again from the depths

Hark ye lads, that beast is fast approaching

Man your battle stations

Prepare thy selves for truth be known

That beautiful truth that stings

But with a healing venom

That beautiful truth that

Uncovers all pretension

That beautiful truth that

Builds pillars of granite

That beautiful truth that

Sets you free and

Sends you escalading up to

The threshold of heaven
