Questions of verity

Is there no real truth?

Or are there just

different versions of facts

depending on

points of view?

Or is this just an excuse

for those

who will not see?

Those

who do not wish

to recognise

the truth?

Thanks for comment, Rob.

I don't think you are overly cynical at all, or if you are, I must be too! I certainly agree about the media, which I find incredibly biased.

Perhaps I should be getting worried as once again I woke up with words in my head, which went something like:

They want to collectively blame all
for what one person
or one party is responsible for;
worse than this
they want to skew it
so that the innocent or least involved
gets all the spotlight
of blame.

Ah well, back to the drawing board...

Lynn - I don't know if I'm overly cynical, but why does it feel like media, politicians, bankers, and 'spokesmen' are all trying to 'SELL' us a version of what they claim is a truth. Sometimes it just gets surreal and I have to take a step back and remember whose version I am listening to.
Nicely considered piece of work.

Ha ha, Harry - no problems, every one is safe on here!

This was one I woke up to find in my head, in the middle of the night, but it was following a Facebook conversation with someone who wanted to turn facts into being points of view.

I don't remember that anyone on Write Out Loud has does that :o)

Thanks Harry for comment.
