Truth
TRUTH
These days, few really understand truth
In the metaverse, it is what gets shared
Memes as popular ideas are not facts
But with a shrug, the world will relax
Truth is quite different when prepared
Fashion appeals more to modern youth
But belief can be something else entirely
More as vain hope than cold calculation
All governments come and then they go
One wonders what they really do know
Feeding us comfortable communication
And official statements delivered dryly
To truth, theories are the closest things
Yet not quite there, at least for most
Science has had its falls and stumbles
Waiting as the establishment crumbles
Does it matter what that movie grossed
Despite the ideas changed history brings
