Truth Poem by Enos Makhele

Quest for it is from time uncountable
For truth and all which is knowable
The search goes on even this day
Believe me it is ever on ceaselessly
For the thirst is strong and demanding
For consciousness and understanding
Every atom in the world of existence
Having to do with all in the universe

But how should man truth attain
In all these various realms known.
What tool does man employ to know
What source would he trust and follow
Is there one to bring all enlightenment
Is there one to ensure all advisement
Can eyes alone witness all realms
Are ears capable of all messages

Some dispute and say nay and never
There is more to know than see and hear
The truth must come no doubt my friend
Yet tools and source first be conceived
If not toil will surely end up foiled
By efforts made in wrongful end
So stop and think about this matter
And thus make your quest better

Many an angle of disputes parading
Some hold knowledge is man in making
All comes from man in his faking
To others is seen in natural state
For all to see and have its foretaste
For him whose claim is contrasting
Truth is both visible and unseeing
All which must man know and grasp
For him to live a life worthy and up

Both sense and mind ever prevail
If this mighty quest for truth avail.
Book and spirit need to land a hand
If this adventure no mind would find
For all must sense confirm and fix
All must mind know and annex
The book must affirm and justify
Soul must inspire and duly qualify

So truth in never a one-way street
Neither the source a walk straight
Tools vary in ways they explain
One single atom of this mundane plain
All four powers must man apply
To know and to recognize perfectly
What the maker has created before
Science and religion come to the fore
