Deliverance
Defined as truth defined in being
What you are as name is called
Whenever people speak of you
That without a doubt is to and from
The heart albeit the mind as sharp
As razor in some deciphers so
As to glide or slide down with tender ease
The way-worn seeker of truth splashed
In tone esoteric to some illiterate few
Except whence cometh the view
Never meant in color for the point
Of being is either or be it black or white
And the language is life.
