Forego ardent protest and creative supplication
Relying on inference - a fool's condemnation
Discard diffidence, perception's jaded visor
Obscurity and darkness, veracity's quagmire
Truth's breath is transparent, impervious to contagion
Armored against malice and miscalculation
Empathy and insight born of its womb
In its embrace, deceit finds its tomb
To pursue its lodging, a futile expedition
Mourning its absence, gratuitous self-sedition
In the breast of its seeker – therein ends the quest
Its province ubiquitous; its form manifest

Mourning its absence, gratuitous self-sedition
In the breast of its seeker – therein ends the quest
