Question:Is there a lie
does such a thing exist
are lies in concrete
balled tight like a fist

for if there were lies
would nothing be true
to me what's a lie
could be true to you

be careful when
you're searching for truth
you might find a lie
it just might be true

Is this poem a warning that all that appears to be true may be false, and all that seems to be false may be true, therefor nothing is knowable? There is nothing absolute to hold onto. There is nothing universal to turn to. This makes me feel uneasy and anxious on the one hand, but really curious on the other. It is a well constructed poem with a potent message. Thank you.

Oh I really like this one......I have written something somewhat similar about winners and losers and how to truly know which is which. It was beautifully executed and flows really well.

It makes you see things in a different light. I think it a good poem showing people that there is two sides and ways to look at everything...besides lying is like religion...what is right and what is wrong?

The first two stanzas said it all.

this is interesting, I like it. It makes me feel like if you search for a truth, what someone may consider a lie may turn out to be true, or vice-versa. This could be someone's biggest fear if they don't want to know if something that they believe to be a truth could be proved to be false. For example, the existense of God.

Its ok.
Keep up the good work.
