K M A

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



I understand you don’t like poetry
And you don’t know the truth
Still your lying will not change it
It’s the same as in your youth

The truth is always absolute
There are no lies found in it
It’s still the Holy Word of God
But you just try to spin it

You say you’ll accept this part
But others you leave out
Sometimes you even add to it
To make believers doubt

Now here I am His servant
Walking close behind that colt
Although that ass belongs to me
From Him it will not bolt
