Truth may be...
twisted,
stretched,
manipulated,
confused,
ridiculed.
supressed,
and hidden from view
to aid in the explotation of many
while bestowing power on a few.

Absolutely right, Ida.  Yes, what is this thing called "truth"?

far too true! ...

Amid the "Runaway American Dream" truth seems to be quite plastic; disposable; and generally elusive (particularly at election time) ...

succinctly effective 'write' !
