This was produced for the CPC Magic Monday poetry challenge.  This week host JT’s theme is The Magic of Learning.

TRUTH BOOTH

It’s a cliche that we must learn
to avoid eternal burn.
Learning lifelines from our birth
to achieve intrinsic worth.

But learning is a two-edged sword.
Truth can help or vex your goard.
While learning falsehoods misdirect
to self-destructive genuflect.

Thus learning may advance your state,
or steal the dinner off your plate.
As magic as learning can be,
one must learn discriminately.

Important too to realize,
falsehood can come in a disguise;
present itself as passed dispute.
Blow that gas right out your chute!

Avoid assumptions based on past.
Seek true knowledge which will last.
Useful learning comes from the truth.
You’ll always find light at its booth!
