A Wall of Truth

Build a wall around the truth
trust you have built it well
For attackers will come from every side
the Wall of Truth to fell

As long as it is standing
the truth will be a threat
For falsehoods, distortion and deceit
fear repentance, shame, and regret

If the wall is not defended
its foundation shallow built
The freedom it holds for all mankind
will be plundered and replaced by guilt

First know the truth, search it out
then set it deep within
Use bricks of knowledge and unyielding faith
To protect the freedom truth has been

Very powerful statement regarding the truth of TRUTH. Poets should herald the truth if they do nothing else. You have done so with a artist's heart creating images that teach and tell the story so vividly.
