The Words of Wisdom We Know to Be True
By Dan Blankenship
© 2008 Dan Blankenship




I’ve heard it said
The man who can’t see truth
Might as well be dead
And I’ve also heard tell
The man who embraces evil
Is headed to hell
And I’ve gotten wind of tales
That the captain concerned with his soul
Traverses the ocean on limitless sails

It is well known
That the map to destruction is reprinted frequently
And many proudly purchase the parchment
Marching off to the darkness quietly
But some realize the extent of their folly
Turning to the words of wisdom our hearts know to be true
Wise advice and purposeful direction intervene
And the ones who couldn’t see truth
Well they become promoters of a narrow ravine
Purveyors of truth in a world decaying from falsehoods
And the words of wisdom they now know to be true
Wash over them like pristine water
And glisten, much like the morning dew
