The Way of Truth (Matthew 7:13-14)

Lost in this sea of darkness,
sentenced to die
from the day we are born,
guilty as charged,
eternally separated,
forever gone.

The dreams of men
are like birds on the wind,
shifting and rearranging,
living and dying,
here today,
gone tomorrow.

There are many roads in life,
leading to far away,
unknown destinations,
creating their own
specific brand of justification,
finding their own
particular version of truth,
but no matter
how many truths we create,
no matter how many different ways
we want to believe;

there is only one truth,
there is only one way,
there is only one road.

It does not bend
to fit our ideas or desires,
it does not go in the direction
we demand it to go,
it is final,
it is absolute;

that is how truth works.

Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad is the road
that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road
that leads to life,
and only a few find it.
