What is Truth

Kimo

 

 

What is truth?

 

I challenge everything I’ve been told

Moreso, now I’m getting old.

Because I seek the truth.

 

I am quite certain that my teachers lied

Though I confess I’m satisfied

They thought they spoke the truth.

 

I am convinced they thought their words were true.

 But they had been lied to too

They were not taught the truth

 

I do not think that they deliberately

decided they would lie to me.

They tried to tell the truth.

Nice one Ivor. A crisp little Kimo with rhyme, perfect.

I like the line "They tried to tell the truth." A strong ending line.

I have never seen a Kimo that rhymed, but since that qualification was not mentioned in the rules, I will not disqualify this fine poem.

What hides the truth? I think so too. Although sometimes the hit the mark.
