Nothing New

 

 

Truth from truth leaves truth

It is what preachers are called to do,

It’s a rhema word from the Logos Word

This should be nothing new.

 

Truth from a lie is bewilderment

A mathematical impossibility,

But it’s just what the devil did to Eve

And it is still his modus operandi.

 

A lie from the truth is hypnotic

It is what magicians do,

Like how cults read into the Holy Word

To mislead first me and then you.

 

A lie from a lie is remarkable

This is the scammers’ way of life,

Get caught in a lie tell another lie

To create more and more strife.

 

 

Truth plus the truth is questionable

The Bible is the word of truth,

You may be called to swear on the Word

But that is not the burden of proof.

 

A lie plus the truth is zero truth

The slightest contaminant is impure,

It is rendering the whole just another lie

Though truth may be at the core.

 

A lie plus a lie is a liar

That’s like 1 plus 2 equals 5 plus 6,

This has become the world’s unique way

For effecting an apparent fix.

 

Multiplying the truth by the truth

Sounds probable but is untrue,

Remember, multiplication is repeated addition

But dividing is to undo.

 

 

There is no more truth or less truth

No who is more right than wrong,

The truth is the truth and nothing but the truth

And to it no lies belong.

 

If you read through this poem again

The following you would recognize,

Each of the verses is amazingly true

Though seven of them are about lies
