There comes a point in time
Where debate is resisted,
And where ears are dull of hearing
And when facts they become twisted.
But the truth can never hide
And will convict through and through,
To penetrate the hardest hearts
That detest logic and truth.
When words become weapons
They can pierce the heart and mind;
Since they challenge and they will correct
So the soul becomes refined.
And when words cannot be stifled
Other weapons will be used,
To kill, destroy and annihilate
With all physical abuse.
But this may instigate a boldness
And a renewal for the truth,
That emboldens the silent voices
As they produce much godly fruit.
It’s a travesty indeed
When healthy discussion is oppressed,
When it’s labelled as ‘extreme’
And when ideas are repressed.
But what we must remember
Is that the voice of truth will live,
And with courage and with boldness
Many blessings it will give.
And it can never be silenced
Because the light will always shine,
And as Jesus proved it resurrects –
Since the word will always rise.
