one of my favourite poems...not written by me!
the truth

where shall we hide the truth from man?

where shall we hide the truth from man?
the gods, all cried when the man was made.
how can we hide the secret now?
they asked each other most afraid.

hide it in the earth, he will mine it out
hide it on the mountains, he will climb them
even in the sea he will find it……where shall we hide the truth from man?

quite beside themselves they cried:
this little guy will take our throne
we have made him far too smart

not to climb our heaven home
hide it in matter, he will crystallize it
even in hell he will surmise it….where shall we hide the truth from man?

they saw the stars in outer space
and the nature of the trees
but they knew man could solve each and every mystery

hide it in the wind, he will pursue it
hide it in an act, he will do it
even in an atom, he will view it…..where shall we hide the truth from man?

then they solved the mystery
as how the frightened gods should win
the wisest said: lets take and hide it deep inside him
hide it inside his heart, he will doubt it
hide it in his soul, he will live without it
even if he should reveal and shout about it
he wont believe the truth is within him.
