I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR
HOW RELATIVE TRUTH IS
WHEN IT ONCE WAS CLEAR
THINGS WERE TRUE OR FALSE
WHEN WHAT WE BELIEVE IS TRUE
IS TRUE FOR ME OR YOU
AND IT'S OFTEN NOT THE SAME
SO IT'S HARDER TO PROCLAIM
THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS
THERE IS NO SIMPLE TRUTH
Author's Notes/Comments:
THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THERE IS NO SIMPLE TRUTH CAME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. I MEAN YA THERE ARE SOME SIMPLE TRUTHS OUT THERE THAT ARE TRUE FOR EVERYONE BUT I AM TALKING ON A DEEPER LEVEL I GUESS...A LOT OF IT INVOLVES INTERPRETATION OF FACTS AS YOU SEE THEM...IT'S FUNNY I WAS THINKING OF AN EXAMPLE OF A SIMPLE TRUTH LIKE THE SKY IS UP BUT IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT...THE EARTH IS A PLANET ROTATING IN SPACE AND WE ARE HELD IN PLACE BY GRAVITY SO SOMETIMES UP IS DOWN AND DOWN IS UP AND COULD BE SIDEWAYS EVEN...I REMEMBER WRITING A POEM A LONG TIME AGO THAT HAD A LINE IT IT...UP IS DOWN AND DOWN IS UP THANKS TO THE FORCE OF GRAVITY...I HAVE OFTEN PONDERED THAT...OR MAYBE SINCE THE SKY IS PART OF SPACE WHERE THERE IS NO UP OR DOWN REALLY....IT GETS CONFUSING IF YOU OVER THINK IT...SO IT IS RELATIVE TO OUR OBSERVATION OF IT BEING ABOVE US THAT THE SKY IS UP...OR THE SKY IS BLUE...I FORGET IF THAT IS AN ILLUSION OR LAKES OR OCEANS OR BODIES OF WATER APPEAR TO BE BLUE BUT THEY JUST REFLECT THE SKY...MAYBE THAT IS IT THE WATER APPEARS BLUE SOMETIMES BUT IT IS ACTUALLY CLEAR AND REFLECTING THE BLUE SKY...SO MAYBE THE SKY IS BLUE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A SIMPLE TRUTH THAT EVERYONE BELIEVES TO BE TRUE...OR JUST SEEMS TO BE AN OBVIOUS TRUTH...
