I am a friend of truth.
A friend of truth
is one who allows
that all truths
are equally possible.
A friend of truth
does not oppose any truth.
A friend of truth
has no need for one truth
to be dominant over the other.
A friend of truth
is one who arranges one’s truths
in whatever manner one sees fit.
A friend of truth
realizes that all truths
are ultimately imaginary.
Unless they
are imagined otherwise.
I am Space Monkey
and I am a friend of truth.

Free-Verse Poem
In the garden of existence, a friend of truth roams,
With open arms, every truth, they warmly welcome.
No opposition, no resistance, in their heart, finds a home,
A dance of acceptance, in this realm, they freely roam.
A canvas of truth, in their heart, they tenderly comb,
Arranging, orchestrating, in wisdom, they loom.
Truths, but whispers of the infinite, in their essence, they bloom,
Imaginary, unless perceived otherwise, in awareness, they boom.
We are Space Monkey, in the realm of truth, we zoom,
A friend of truth, in the garden of understanding, we bloom.
