The Pursuit Of Truth

In this day and age, how do I determine
what is correct, what is incorrect,
who is right, who is wrong,
for, the mightiest controls it all.

What do I know?
I can only access the available information.
How am I to know?
I do not have any hidden sources.
How can I take sides?
I do not know the story from both sides.
I am a mere passerby in this ever-changing world.

I search for the truth only to discover that it’s a mirage.
Whom do I ask, ‘what is the truth?’
They said, “A lie told thousands of times becomes the truth”.
A lie told over a century might become history.
How am I to know, what is the truth?
I am a mere passerby in this ever-changing world.
