Truth

A Poem

By Michelle MacLarenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

If everything is true,

Then nothing is true.

The odd paradox

Of mankind.

Reality tends to be subjective,

But I think

Therefore I am.

But their truth

Is in their belief,

And their belief is different from mine.

That's the thing about people,

Each one

Will always believe

That what they think is right.

But we cannot all be right,

What we believe

Cannot all be right.

For what we believe is right,

Is not always true.

And therein,

In our pride and arrogance

Is humanity's downfall.
