Holding Forth Relentlessly the Truth

We may well act condemnably Toward those who are condemnable. There really ought be no issue here, But those delicate anti-theists Who despise the rule of  Law Can’t stand the notion that there is But one way when Truth be told. “Must there not be at least one other?” They seem to shriek with fear that ‘Tmay be so: that Right is right And Wrong is wrong. “Oh  no! What a dread!  Let’s be dead! We cannot have it so.  There must be options more than two! Right and Wrong!  This will not do! Got to find a way to screw Or have that extra drink! O let us think . . . To find another way that’s ‘true’, We need another god or two.” And so they hunt and scrape around After a bone like a hungry hound. Got to fund some way out! Can’t nobody take it from me; I savor that lust for company. Can’t give up those things I want: Friends and attention and fame. And so the same go down in shame Shrinking from the Word of truth Holding themselves quite aloof From those who speak it squarely And hiding from duties fairly.
