Truth


What is truth?

Is my truth the same as your truth?

Truth is we will never know.

A blind eye may see truth,

while a seeing eye may be blind to lies.

Even a newborn baby deceives the mother

Like a woman deceives herself when looking in the mirror.

Self-truth is harder than fooling the blind eye,

which causes self-deceit to bloom.  

So what is your truth?
