Such a wise answer from a young mind. Its been incredible to watch your writing journey and growth to this point. A good poem needed for this day and age.

That, Helix, is why I'm always afraid to speak most times; the fact that I'm still young and yet know more than even people decades older than me. It makes me question if I really do know or if I'm just being a arrogant brat. But if God can speak through a burning bush, a donkey, and so on, perhaps he speaks through me even when I don't realise.

Again, as many times before and most likely many times to come, I have to seriously thank you for helping me along the way.

Thanks for reading and the fav, sir.

Well the Lord has his moments with all of us. That is something you and I share, often what happened with people in my youth.

Your welcome. This one was quite some poetry.

So free. T_T

*Insert Braveheart scene here*

Powerful truth in this.

What I love about poems and stories is their ability at times to cut through the B.S. and present us with the unbridled unvarnished truth.

Amen, Lu, amen.

Nice one, mate.
For me, I want to say that for quite a while, Pilate's question of "what is truth?" was something I've held in mind; at times because it was relatable with my own uncertainties and hang-ups, but also just because, even if it's a matter of how I myself read that part, I just kinda feel for the guy, y'know? This guy's trying to do his job governing his assigned region, and he has this quandary foisted onto him. When I read that line, I just imagine such a "drained" tone.
...
Anyway, I'm rambling. Just know I think you've put out a nice bit here, for whatever my two-cents is worth.

Jordan Peterson actually said something about that line; it was something like how poorly of a governor Pilate is, because if he's asking what is truth then that means he doesn't really know what truth is either and hence, how is he governing properly if he doesn't know what is truth. But yeah, I also kinda feel for Pilate, however, this certainly doesn't clear him of any guilt.

Thanks for reading.

Sure thing, mate. :)

Interesting story

Thanks.

A most interesting take on the subject, for sure. Certainly does leave much to consider when the answer to such a question isn't so simple, but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting if it were simple after all.

Allow me to boldly state, it's not a take but rather the truth, but I understand where you come from. Likewise, I must argue differently that it is so simple, it's just that our fallen and disconnected human nature has clouded such simplicity from us. It's the realisation of when you rediscover the simplicity that's interesting.

Sorry if that came off a little backlashing; thank you for taking the time to check this out and for the fav.
