In every point of view that's held sincerely,
Not intended for manipulation,
Decent folks just speaking from the heart,
Each selfish, selfless, idealistic cynic
Pursues a radiant, iridescent truth.
Embrace them all, ingenuously and dearly,
Nor deem one truth not worth consideration
Despite your own perhaps dissenting part.
Each voice adds to the beauty of Earth's music,
Nor does a vivid counterpoint need proof.
Clearly there is hatred, yes, quite clearly,
Eluding reason, fact, faith, love, relation,
Damning all belief, truth, passion, art,
A scourge that turns the sweetest truth acidic.
Yet love puts all truths under one large roof.
