the mind gathers truth
catalogues it
and keeps an access file.
such truths shape beliefs
guide actions
weigh in on decisions.
some truths are written
some inherited
some discovered in solitude.
truth is passionately defended
so staunchly argued that
somewhere, someone is dying for truth.
why then is my perception of truth
not the same as yours,
If truth is truth?
