TRUTH

Short, short story, like truth it is short and simple.

TRUTH
Sorry sir, I didn`t mean to laugh
You see it`s truth, Sir
Truth is just a gaff
It sticks the delinquent in his soul
And it tricks the honest believer
Truth is what we want but what
Do we offer for this goal ?
Perhaps there is no truth at all
Except in you the believer`s soul
And when you ask for truth from
Another he has only his truth to call
From deep within where secrets lie
And only he knows the truth
And if he questioned his own soul
He would find it changed you know
I would speak yet more of truth
But only you and I perhaps just you
Can tell if truth is ours to show

I really like this! It really makes sense we are all individuals and we all have different perceptions on things kind of like the saying you can put twenty people in a room and ask them to come up with a solution to a problem and you end up with twenty different ideas. This poem points out how truth is only truth to an individual if they believe it is, it makes sense on why we think others are in denial because to some of us we think they don't want to admit to something so pretend otherwise but maybe just maybe in their mind what they claim to be is in fact just that because they truly believe in their claim,in their eyes it's truth. I think this poem is a great example and reminder for us of just how different we are and why we live our lives differently.

i once get punished for hiding the truth from my parents that i was with a gang of notorious kids in our neighbourhood and even went with them for stealing mangoes from someone else's garden...
and I know that was not a good idea...!!

telling a lie is like telling 1000 more to cover up the first one...

The truth shall set you free, or is it, me free?
