To seek the truth is quite a quest

Though it is long we do our best

To find a lie is an easy play

But to find the truth takes more than a day

Sometimes truth takes a hidden form

To find real truth could bring us harm

Though half a truth might be a line

On half a truth we sometimes dine

All the truth is best for some

But all in truth we haven’t won

One day we find that truth is due

For time is all and is so true

We haven’t learned a lot in life

What did we gain from all that strife?
