Deceived


And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived . . .
Mathew. Chapter 1. Verse 37 (JST)


There is in this world a tremendous degree
of rumor, surmises, and chicanery.
The truth has been rendered beyond understanding
by experts in all sorts of disguise and branding.

I find myself lost in the welter of sound
that passes for fact but is merely hidebound.
The pundits and poets and pirates all prate
but never reveal what's to be a man's fate.

To leave the deception of this world behind
I study the scriptures to know the Lord's mind.
With study and prayer and sincere application
I can find truth that leads to exaltation!
