Only the Facts

What is the search for truth now
Is it a set of facts that are palatable some how
A version that will be easy to digest 
Or something that a court will ingest

Those facts we can now see by video
But still open to interpretation in the show
When things are examined by all
You see perceptions are at the call

Don’t think that you know what happened 
At a stretch it is what is in fashion
So what is so important you may say
The facts and only the facts won’t go away.
