A Dialogue Of Truth Poem by AHO Speaks

If humanity doesn't question to find out why
A kernel of truth can be used to cover a lie
Human causes cannot sacrifice, another to die.

Who among us is so naive
Words of others we are told to believe
Human causes in time too often deceive.

To accept and believe in words spoken eons ago
A picture is worth many words and I believe that is so
Time is irrelevant if people do not change and also grow.

Written words have no emotions to express
The voice of one speaker flat like all the rest
A human mind contains mankind's emotional uniqueness.

Music part of our memory to display
Pictures of historical time on a certain day
The mind our eternal chalice to take away.

When the mind is young and cannot relate
Questions are not encouraged; particuarly in matters of faith
When we reach the age of reason, it is usually too late.

The mind will retain how the sense's react
Gender difference a critical human fact
Strength and compassion should be shared in each human act.

Authority figures hold a sacred key
Positions of power, prestige and also responsibility
To practice 'the, 'golden rule'; in deference to the word me.
