Sum Veritas

Jesus Christ said, more than once: "Ergo sum veritas" or simply "Sum veritas".
This means: "I am the truth".

And this is what one has to be; a vehicle of truth, of undoubted concepts and ideas, for our own sake. We have to seek the truth and be able to speak it out loud.

The other option is to stay quiet.

Do you want to take this option?
You can go the easy way and lie.
Actually, that's also an option many decide to take by not deciding otherwise.

There are all kinds of questions to answer when the simple and bare truth is not the option taken.

"(You) don't have to be on your bended knees,
It's not like you're begging for mercy,
Or for your life...
Raise... (and move on...)
Stay...
I want to see your real self.

Let's drink the wine, taste the food,
Let's share intimate thoughts,
Don't take me for granted...
Praise... (can I rely on you?)
Pray...
Show me your real self.

Then you'll know if I want more.
Then you'll know if you want more.
But until then...

Let's hold hands, if it means anything,
Let's go our different paths, if we must,
And make it meaningful...
Chase... (even if I'm gone...)
Astray...
True to our true selves.

Then you'll know if this is more.
Then you'll know if this is for sure.
And there and then...

Words and thoughts as a true sanctuary,
Ever since first battles fought.
The truth is to clarify, to dignify,
What is and what is not.
Only by it you can be freed,
Only then it'll be worth your while.

Even if only for a moment,
Speak like you could also say:
'I am the truth!'."
