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.
