Analysis of What is truth? Truth is what?
What is truth?
Truth is the present.
Present, the here and now
Now, at this moment in time
Time, there is no such thing when in joy
Joy, the total opposite of sorrow
Sorrow, crying while breaking into song
Song, the beauty of voice to heal
Heal, that brings forth life
Life, that flows throughout my heart
Heart, the beat that causes me to dance
Dance, to dance with meaning
Meaning, having the means to love
Love, the desire to speak life through unity
Unity, an embrace after pain
Pain, is a deep wound that bleeds
Bleeds, the words that cut, and bruise
Bruise, oh ego you must be still
Still, in the land of the living
Living, in the presence of water
Water, the curse, and the gift
Gift, the gift is the present
The Present is truth
