Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

No More and No Less

Is there a fact of the matter
  that can never be disproved 

Is there an absolute truth
  that all can behoove

As sure as we once were
  that the world was flat

We’ve transferred to the Big Bang,
  and the beginning of all that

Are facts just a servant
  to our spiritual minds

To provide order and sequence,
  make things easier to find

If one fact truly exists
  above all the rest

It’s that facts don’t exist
  —no more and no less

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Kurt Ravidas April 21, 2019 at 10:19 AM Well said, Kurt. For my part, I dare to submit that the facts do exist just like an ambivalent truth shows a presence of an unambiguous certainty. The fact of the shade of a tree shows a presence of a tree, doesn't it?)
