I see that lots of you claim to know what is the truth,but I ask what is it?
A poem- I cannot remember who wrote it-asks what is the truth? Truth is what man decides it to be.

Truth is irrelevant when you have the facts.

I like the fact that you are reading poems and that is great. My friend the question you asked is 'what is truth?' It should not have been asked like that but rather who is truth?
The Bible says, in John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

If truth were as subjective as you claim, then it could not very well be Truth.
Jesus answered that question when he said "I am Truth"
Truth is not in a bunch of facts, but in the person of Jesus Christ.

Truth is the foundation of the whole universe and the spiritual realm, and all that is or ever will be. Remove it and that part of existence will soon cease to exist. Remove truth from yourself and you will soon cease to exist!
Truth is the light that always has been. Darkness (spiritual) is the opposite side of the coin. Darkness can only exist as long as some of God's creations embrace, and hold to it. Spiritual light will always exist. Because it is part of God!

Truth is ABSOLUTE! No body can change it, even with a committee! 2+2=4. We can't change that. The Bible is full of ABSOLUTE TRUTH. We can't change them either. Society doesn't dictate morals, The Bible does. We have seen the moral decay for years because people have been getting away from the teachings in the Bible!

Whenever anyone stresses the word "truth", as in, Now, this is the absolute truth. Or the truths of the church, be careful.

The Acts of Pilate
And Pilate went in again into the judgement hall and called Jesus apart and said unto him: Art thou the King of the Jews?
Jesus answered and said to Pilate: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Pilate answered Jesus: Am I also a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; for if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have striven that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Pilate said unto him: Art thou a king, then?
Jesus answered him: Thou sayest that I am a king; for this cause was I born and am come, that every one that is of the truth should hear my voice.
Pilate saith unto him: What is truth?
Jesus saith unto him: Truth is of heaven.
Pilate saith: Is there not truth upon earth?
Jesus saith unto Pilate: Thou seest how that they which speak the truth are judged of them that have authority upon earth.

The truth and what you BELIEVE is the truth are two very different things.

truth is a common perception of a big number of people, that agree that a certain event has happened.

Truth is existence and everything that derives therefrom, and existence does not change simply because you believe something contrary to it.
