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
