What Is the Truth

The truth is beyond what our 
eyes can amount to

The truth is Real
The truth is Odd
The truth can Heal but can't be 
bought.
The truth is Beauty
The truth is Solid
The truth Will stand when all 
else falls.

The truth doesn't age
But we age with the truth.

Just like one plus two makes 
three
The truth to any degree, Will 
set us free.

The truth is a needle residing in 
a galaxy
Compelling to believe it's all but 
a fallacy

The truth can hurt, as we all 
know
But lies can heal?! That may be 
so
For every lie, the truth appears
And so the lies remain 
ensnared

And as we filter and realize that 
all that glitters isn't gold.
That dignifies youth,
In other words
Not all that sounds right is the 
Truth.
