Veracity

Kurt Philip Behm

Can truth exist
  within a vacuum

Can it stand alone
  without listener or teller

Can its words contain value
  left to themselves

Can its verity outlive
  its many disciples

Can its hope transcend
  all circumstance and change

Can truth given unto itself
  —exist at all
