Compass

We desire things full of speed
Roaring in their might-
Yet the truth crawls on its hands and knees
Content to leave the fight.

Smaller and sophisticated
Gadgets please the eye-
Yet the truth is uneducated
And larger than the sky.

We desire fancy works of art
That sparkle in the light-
Yet truth is found within the heart
Throughout the darkest night.

To find these things most loathe to lose-
Trinkets of wealth and fame-
First set your compass on the Truth
Then turn the other way.

amazing....
