Dear Truth You Are the Biggest Lie

Truth as we know is only relative and always has been so and changes with time and perspective.There is always a LIE in the word "Belief and in real life as well

Dear truth, you are the biggest lie
Its about time, to tell all, why
Walking in a gown of spotless white
Your purity, your source of might
Oh! Yes might that is supreme
And forever to your delight

Yet like the very colour you chose
Your purity is just a ruse
As there is a set of hues
Hiding behind white light, unseen
Unless through a prism it moves.

Truths, lies and doubts-all of one kind
Descendants of the same old mind
Little in common between them
Yet can the foolish eyes find
Truths dressed in white, lies in black
And doubts in grey
Rarely would one say
Unless seeing things the real way

Black absorbs all tints
And white throws them back
Grey undecided about its track
Yet its the same set of hues
That all of them conceal
Or may chose to reveal

Truth is the strongest lie ever told
A guile that time fails to unfold
Guarded by cavalry of reason
And infantry of faith
Of men, blindfolded with belief

You trick one soul more
Than your sibling , lie
The mind you both come from
Even till the hour to die
Knows a lie to be so
But not the fallacy of truth

For ages in the name of truth
The earth was flat
And it was sun that went around
And many more tales reigned
Till a new truth was found

I believe in it coming from you
That that I love some people
And some love me too
Then why can't I just forgive?
When hurt by what they do

Truth is a phantom
With no form or shape
In a guise each time
That the mind can't escape
Residing always in a new lie
Till its time for that to die

No matter what, truth still rules
Moulding myths into its tools
And thus eternally it survives
Through the string of its lies

SSBeeee,

Is it the same coin with one side only instead of the natural one with both sides?
