the entanglement of truth

[saw]

there may be a man somewhere
that is closer to the truth
he may be sitting cross-legged
on the side of a Nepalese mountain
staring at the sun, he may be
running through the amazonian rain forest
in an animal skin loin cloth, he may
claim to converse with blackbirds
he may lie with holy men
behind ancient stone walls......
can verity come to us if we chant
the right words....is Sun Myung Moon truth,
is truth spiritual or corporeal, or is it
a bit of both, does this man of truth
drink gunpowder tea, does he chew
on sprigs of hay or the button-like tops
of small spineless cacti, is he a fellow
at the university, does he claim to possess
the divine right of kings or he is the self
proclaimed expert on the Divine Comedy....
can we reign in our prejudice, how about
our superstitions, is the truth in Hollywood
or the Oval Office, can master builders
be trusted with our well being, how about
master minds, yes there may be someone
closer to the truth but just maybe
we are all journeymen looking for something
that can never be known, perhaps
the doctrines of the Greek Skeptics
are the best road map for your hip pocket
