Belted With The Truth Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Love,
Having your waist belted with the truth;
Life,
having your waist belted with the truth;
And, taking the shield of the faith,
Prepared with the message of peace.

Life, mercy and peace;
To quench all fiery darts of war with love;
having your waist belted with the truth,
For, faith and works go together.

The worship of the Emperor,
The worship of the king,
The worship of the prince,
The worship of the chief,
The worship of the queen,
The worship of the princess,
All in the name of the blue laws,
But, faith without works is dead.

Keep, kept!
With the muse of the laws;
Sweep, swept!
With the ways of life;
But, you have the joy of peace on your side always!
Because, your waist is belted with the truth.
