Truth - Part 1

Real.
What is real?
Real is whatever you want it to be
No
Real is truth
Real is seeing the world clearly
Yes
Seeing the world
But who really can see the world?
Me
Can you?
Can you see it with perfect clarity?
No
Of course not
After all, you're only human
Yes
that's right
No one can really see reality
No?
No one at all?
How is it real if no one can see it?
Oh
I understand
Reality is relative, truth, an approximation
Yes
There is no truth
Reality is whatever you make of it
Why?
Well, why not?
If no one can see truth, it cannot exist

  1. Wow, the worldly train of thought is dumb.
    Quick crit (even though you didn't invite it): It might need a bit more emphasis on how this thinking is wrong; I don't know if, say, an unbeliever would understand that you don't agree with this thought. That is, assuming you do...
    Otherwise, very well written. The word choice and flow are excellent. I like it.

  2. I agree with Emma. I think it needs another stanza. What you've got thus far is good.
