What is truth?
We live
our lives
being told what
is true.
Truths in science
fall
by the wayside when
new “truths”
are discovered.
But,
how true
are they?
Religions
will tell you
their truths.
Problem is,
few agree.
So how
true
can they be?
People
will tell you
what is true
but can they be
trusted?
Society will tell
its truths,
but should you
agree?
We are born
into a world
full of “truths”.
Truths laid down
by others,
many long dead.
Should we
simply acquiesce,
simply say yes
to whatever
we're told?
The answer is
no.
Open your minds
to all the
possibilities.
Do not let
others rubber stamp
your beliefs.
Many snake oil salesmen
will try to out fox.
Ask questions,
think hard,
don’t simply
agree.
Think
outside the box.

By definition, "Truth" assumes 'absolutes' ... which don't exist. Your poem describes this well, collinsig!
Very true. Good write. Keep it up. ❤ 💗 💕 😊
