What is truth to me may not be for you.
I gotta take a stand
How do I choose what to stand for?
If I take a solid stance
Only to discover later
That I led someone astray
What a mess I could make
How am I to foreknow the effect?
I’m simply telling my version of reality
But to call it truth could be fatal
You say it’s not truth for you
Then…
What is truth?
When do you know it is truth?
By definition says Webster
Conformity to fact or logic
A statement proven as fact
Such as gravity
What goes up must come down
Modern philosophy says
Truth to me may not be truth to you
Truth to you
May be a huge dilemma for me
By definition, truth has to be true
True whether one knows it or not
True whether one believes it or not
It’s just true
Truth can’t be subjective, only opinion
Otherwise, “What is truth?
