Basking in the Sunshine of New Truth

in the era of new truth  
it matters not who cheats  
on whom  
or why  
or how deep the water  
or where the wind blows  
or how many fill the  
piazza  
or who helped who  
and who didn't
or why  
 
for facts are facts  
but truth is something else again  
 
so one might gather truth  
from hither  
or thither  
but a smart smart man knows  
which streams to fish  
and which fruit best fills his basket  
and thus can speak his truth  
adamant as any preacher  
and tap his toes to it's good and righteous tune  
knowing his truth is valid  
as anybody's
