The Truth Has Few Companions Poem by Qiniso Mogale

The truth is lonely
Often the truth lives in solitude
The truth is an orphan
The truth has a few friends
The truth Has a few companions.

The truth is despised by many
The truth is detested by many
The truth is abhorred by many
The truth is disliked by many
The truth is hated by many
The truth has a few companions.

The truth is embraced by a few
The truth is welcomed by a few
The truth is endeared by a few
The truth is honoured by a few
The truth is cherished by a few
The truth has a few companions.

The truth has a few defenders
Even those who are expected to defend the truth
attack it
Supposed men and women of God also despise
the truth
These men and women sneer at the truth
Leaders shun the truth
The truth has a few companions.
