Hard to find...
Hard to find...
People often feed off the opinions of others
by reading newspapers or chatting with friends
The truth is even more elusive than ever
reality lies concealed, if not camouflaged
The Truth is hard to find
We are daily bombarded with fake news
propoganda is skilfully manipulated
Film and photos are tampered with
facts and figures altred to suit requirements
The Truth is hard to find...
The two faced and two sided abound
lies have become an accepted norm
Distortion and deception have become common currency
those once trusted have lost all respect and credibility
The Truth is hard to find...
Plato once said, "No one is more hated than he
who speaks the Truth"
his words have come to fruition
Liars and cheats are in the ascendancy
The Truth is hard to find...

Hi Keith
I really enjoyed this. I often get the feeling that we are being manipulated by the media, the press, the TV etc into believing what they represent to us as 'truth' when the truth is somewhat different. Really good poem
