The Conflating of Truth
To label Truth as "yours and mine"
conflates what Truth must be.
"That Truth is preference" seems quite fine,
until results we see.

Conflating Truth with ice cream choice
demeans it to the core.
To contemplate its latest voice,
its base we can't ignore.

For preference is Life's unique view.
It shows just who we are.
To sip the coffee's house blend brew
will put my day on par.

To navigate across the foam
when storm did compass take,
The North Star I must find or roam
as fin'lly life may break.

The North Star is the truth of Truth.
It's fixed. It does not move.
The Truth exists 'fore Earth was youth.
It must all foes reprove.
