Voir Dire Series 4 : on truth

truth, a specific view of reality 
it appears before persons at a given moment 
it is not static and cannot be measured 
in a laboratory 
each individual score is different
as every perceived phenomenon is specific 
truth is time bound according 
to one mindset frequency within a set framework 

truth is always connected 
to convenience for wit as best position 
based on individuals heeded comfort
convenience and conviction 
one scoop can sword another 
face can be beautiful or unsavoury 

since truth is pliable it is easily 
bent by egoic mind as positioning moves
its nature and clarity is not rooted 
in material mirrors 
moves from waves beyond time-space
ability to touch truth as purity 
indicated on spiritual station
being both measurable and unmeasurable 

diffused by gospel stories  
it can't be captured within single framework 
by set groups of labelled individuals 
remaining unbound to space  
free from human law

individual truth is presence coloured 
as fact for material conveniences
