God speaks to all, many hear, one acts.
Inconsequential
What you believe
What you think
What you know
Unless you’ve happened
Along some great truth
You’d care to share
I’ll share
Chances are
you’re wrong
Never listened
Never learned
All you got
Is what you’ve
been told.
Parents, Friends
Relatives, Politicians
God
All profound truths
That pale in comparison
to thought, to knowledge
to action, to compassion
to Experience.
Truth from someone
who has never ventured
from their safety
from their warmth
from their family
yet in their world
They know the world
as it is.
Their truth.
