An appropriate question for this time of disruption.
When did you last see Truth?
It has slipped its leash and scrambled off
unnoticed in the frenzied melee of baying myths.
When did you last hear Truth?
Its studied quietness is difficult to catch
amidst the raging howl of hunting packs.
‘Truth, Truth’ —if we shout
will you hear us and come back?
Will you find us through false tracks?
Will we recognise Truth again?
An almost forgotten narrative.
