Location of Truth (Poem) [with Added Commentary]

Doctrine & Covenants 25:12 - "For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart ..."

There was nothing ever gained
except through discovery
yet truth is often declared
through opinion and deceit

What one thinks is sharp wisdom
Is arrogance to the core
It doesn't take their intellect
to know two plus two is four

If we look beyond language
and meaning, knowledge, and time
if the equation is true
it mankind did only find

Truth embedded in our minds
Was there in the beginning
claiming we thought up such things
is sour arrogating

And yet we still find many
who claim understanding pure
dictate God's own acts and will
hide their fog 'neath sepulcher

What is there must have always been
What is found was not determined
God has placed truth for us to find
It's our job to go and find it
