It is only in a primitive linguistic community 'truth' is to be found

It is only in a primitive linguistic community truth to be found that is because along the way
language has been corrupted or 'enriched' by metaphor, alliteration et al, as a means to reach others
the most guilty of this are politicians who claim to speak the unadorned truth.  But language is not unadorned, like some clean pane of glass, by the 'truth' they claim to speak.
