No Such Thing as Truth! How true can this be?

If in fact as postmodernists declare

There is no such thing as truth

Would this not also be a falsehood?

You see, in itself it gives the proof.

They are trying their very best

To rubbish God’s Holy Word

And in trying to achieve this feat

They will even use the absurd.

There is no such thing as truth

Is a contradiction; there is no doubt,

It shows the lie for all that follows

And such a premise must be thrown out.

For once the premise is faulty

The whole argument tumbles down

And as brilliant as postmodernists appear

They must be viewed as circus clowns.

We live in a knowledge boom time

In which knowledge is on the increase,

In the Bible we read of this era

But this too will also cease.

There is no such thing as truth

Are you quick to believe in such?

Or are we saying like some today

That truth doesn’t matter much?

“We live in a time of universal deceit

And telling the truth is revolutionary.”

These words attributed to George Orwell

Really must be a cause for worry.

In a day of fake news and alternative facts

Truth must in deed be strange

And if there is no such thing as truth

This world must clearly be deranged.

In a world of madness is where we are

Cunningly pretending to be sane,

The Emperor’s new clothes are on us

As lies packaged as truth and so renamed.

  

“Hath God said?” you’d remember that,

The first case of an alternative fact

That altered the face of original truth

And led the first humans into a trap.

A trap from which they could not escape,

The consequences are still felt today

And men have moved away from truth,

No such thing as truth you hear them say.

“A Strong delusion” according to the Bible

That’s how the word of God puts it,

And man has perfected the art of lying

Such that it has become a compelling habit.

There is no such thing as truth

Once only the tiniest of germs at birth

Has grown in quantum leaps exponentially

And now it fills the entire earth.

It puzzled a Roman governor too

When once he had asked what is truth,

Oblivious at that particular time

That standing before him was his proof.

There is no such thing as truth

Means that today any and everything goes,

No wonder our world is in such a state

And man born of a woman is full of woes.

Many are comfortable with believing a lie,

“It’s truth,” some would dare to expound

Even though with comprehensive examination

No such evidence can be found.

A strong delusion I must repeat

For having believed an obvious lie

Our world today is in desperate straits

And creation’s beginning it still denies.

Everything hinges and hangs on the beginning

And the truths concerning that,

If in fact there is no such thing as truth

Then all we believe is a lie and that’s a fact.

Scattered, wandering and groping in fear

Moving further away from the Light

Fooling ourselves we are seeing quite clear

But terribly disoriented in our plight.

Post-truth is the new word; do take note

As accepted by the Oxford Dictionaries,

It relegates the evidence of objective facts

And establishes personal beliefs as summaries.

There is no such thing as truth

Because the false is all that we know

Having long dispelled the truth from our mind

Post-truth is the only way to go.

Post-truth is what enables our agendas

Personal and selfish though they be,

The word of God is reckoned a lie

When the blind believe that they can see.

He that is well needs not a physician

And he that can see, no balm for his eye

But truth will out and it always does

Even to the stoutest of them that deny.

There is no such thing as truth

We all that statement should defy

For if it were correct it could still not be a fact

Since built into such truth is the lie.

There is no such thing as truth

How true can this really be?

Not true at all you must agree

Since its very sense is contradictory.
