What is truth?

What is truth?
By Kyle Oakeson

Do endorsements make professionals
Or the amount that they get paid?
Is it because he claimed he was one
Or is experience in his ways?
Does he cast his spell upon you and you simply think he’s right?
Perhaps he can back it up too, does his success make him qualified?
Or can failure do it to; surely he knows what not to do?
Is it the paper he hangs on the wall that cost him several grand?
Is it because the government put license in his hand?
Or is it because his words can move you to believe,
Could he be a natural, did fate give him these skills?
Or will he have to prove them still
And get credentials like everybody else?
Does confidence make him succeed,
Or did success make him confident?
What of the artist who truly paints with skill,
Is it always because of practice, or from talents up above?
Does eternal truth grant him success?
Or does popular vote give him his credence?
Does it matter where he gets it from, if you think deep down it’s right?
