Analysis of Truth Pouring Down Again



Never asking for permission,
always being sure

His head was held firmly,
his mind had stayed pure

Never seeking your acknowledgement,
or umbrella against the rain

His words—exploded thunder,
truth pouring down again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2016)
