Are “facts” truth?
Are “laws” based on truth?
Can truth be measured?
Can it be counted?

Truth
is stranger than fact.
It lives beyond laws
never to be found
in sweeping promises
or grandiose pronouncements.

Truth
is a light in dark places;
a mantle of experience;
a compendium of understanding;
the radiance of compassion.

Truth
is the lie that saves
the innocent life
yet remains untarnished
in the exchange.

Truth
is never found
among the hypocrites
but can walk as comfortably
with kings as with paupers.

Truth:
how few know
thy beautiful face!

WindWalker,

Truth is anything tangible, and some things that aren’t—maybe.

liked it all, but this part really stood out:

"Truth

the innocent life
yet remains untarnished
