Truth or Truths? for Bro Salvatore

Sonnet

 

 

Truth or truths

 

What is the truth? No man can say

Each sees it in a different way.

My truth may not be true for you

Yours may differ from mine too

Although we say we want to know

I wonder do we really though

I think it is quite evident,

The truth is inconvenient.

If hearts were pure we could be sure.

One simple truth might well endure.

But we prefer half truths and lies.

Perhaps because we realise.

If we embraced truth honestly

 It would curtail our liberty.
