Dedicated lovingly and respectfully to Kori, who spoke the Truth
The World will hate you
They will ridicule you
They will persecute you
They will hurt your body
They will torture your soul
They will kill you
But remember
If the World hates you
It hated him first
The path is narrow
The way is steep
The journey is treachourus
But remember
He walked it before you
Everything you have
Everything you are
Will be demanded of you
But remember always
He has already given everything for you
So take up your cross
Deny your very self
Then come
And follow Him
Live the Way
As God has shown and commanded you
Above all else
Speak the Truth that is God
In thought, in word and in deed
Speak the Truth
I will give up all that I have
My family and my home
My possessions and my wealth
I will follow
As my Lord has commanded me
Joyfully, I accept Your cross
I deny myself
There is only You
I will speak the Truth
For it is You
I know that many will hate me for my words
They will try and twist them
They will try and water them down until they are nothing
Because the Truth is terrible
This will not sway me
My mouth will speak only truth
No matter how it makes people feel
No matter what it makes them do
No matter if they listen or if they do not
There is the Truth that is You
And there is no other
Whatever happens because I speak
I will speak
It matters not
You are Truth
And I will never deny You
How foolish are the sons and daughters of men!
They wallow in their own filth
In their ways of sin and darkness
Look up, O people
You were made for something better
When your cities crumble into dust
When your words and writings are nothing
When all lies have passed away
Then still
The Truth will remain
Be warned
You are writing in water
You are building on sand
Turn from your ways
Listen to the Truth
And you
My sisters and my brothers in the Truth
My plea to you is simple
Speak the Truth
Come hell or highwater
Persecution or hate
If people turn from you because of it
Speak the Truth
Speak it so they will listen
Be soft
Be kind as Your Lord would have it be
But be firm
NEVER deny the Truth
For the Truth is your God
My sisters in Christ
My brothers in Christ
Myself. . .
Speak the Truth
Now and always
Speak the Truth
*Author's Note*
Part of this was written a long time ago in the style of a Psalm, (good old fire and brimstone:) So, it comes across harshly. It's actually the companion poem to "Go To Hell", I'm just a little slow. Anyways, what I wanted to say is said the poem.
This is dedicated to Kori, who I watched underfire. I didn't really help her then, so this is almost an apology to her for not supporting her. Thank you my sister in Christ, your reward in Heaven will be great I know:) Also to Anifan and Imokru, Hemlock and Roren, more then I can list here. You know who you are.
