Hearing the Voice of Reason

From an enormous ocean of voices

Loudly emerges the voice of reason,

Telling you that fighting injustice

Has nothing to do with disloyalty or treason.

 

When a veil of confusion covers

Truth, depriving it of clarity,

The veil must be lifted so that

Honesty vanquishes insincerity.

 

When a foggy mist of deception

Completely obscures the seeker's view,

Doubt and uncertainty linger on

Until the light of truth breaks through.

 

A word that appears to be innocuous,

Can, depending on its source,

Manifest repercussions

With damaging, destructive force.

 

Don't be deceived by cunning distractions--

By sirens luring you to your doom.

Don't be afraid to stay the course

When clouds of intimidation loom.

 

Allowing you to see more clearly,

The true voice of reason will guide you--

Whether it calls you from the distance,

Or whether it comes from deep inside you.
