perhaps truth were more useful as a verb
not noun; a thing to know, possess or own:
but deed, and that once being done were heard
so much the more than were it spoke alone.

perhaps some other attributes perform
were active duty given them as well;
no longer would be deemed ideal , but norm
utopia no dream or tale to tell.

like peace a thing to do, the same as love.
and freedom, not a spoil of war, but deed.
or grace , not gift to some from god above,
but how we lift our fellow man from need

oh that philanthropy weren't noun - but soul
that moves each one of us, - the way we roll!
