Truth

Finding truth or relying on a lie.

                              If it's easy, will it be taken for granted?

                                   If it's hard, will it be given up on?

                                     If unsure, will we ask for truth?

                                           If truth cannot be found,

                                              will we rely on a lie?

                                              If a lie is all we hear,

                               will we give up on knowing the truth?

                                           If we give up on the truth,

                                            will we forever live a lie?

the truth nowadays is impossible to find. the wealthy uses their riches to disguise lies as credible facts. i guess lies would be forever.

If it is the truth we may not be able to notice it at first but often it seems so many prefer the lies--well done

TRASK...

Interesting questions. One thing is for sure, those that wish to control have lying down to a fine art. With enough repetition, some people start to believe a lie as the truth, even though it flies in the face of even the most simple reasoning.

Some deep poetic truth lies within this piece.
"If a lie is all we hear, will we give up on knowing the truth?
If we give up on the truth, will we forever live a lie?
Yes, sometimes in life (especially as a teenager) we accept a lie as truth to cushion the pain. Truth be known we are then living a lie.

Well done Sherman!
Well done!
