Chasing the Truth

Chasing the truth

Each day I live, and I laugh, and I cry;

I live when I say and do what is true,

I laugh ev’ry time my friends and I sigh

At the mem’ry of great times that are through,

I cry for the men and women who prove

The world’s a sinful and unhappy place

Where monsters reign and mocking men move

Those who would rather believe in false praise

Than accept the fact that all men must fall,

All men must suffer, and all men must die.

The women do not escape this sad call

Because we all will end with a sad sigh.

Why, Why not know what’s what? Let’s live!

With a smile and an honest “I forgive”.

A sonnet by Matthew Thiel.
