Truth is an interesting poem that presentes us an opinion about the society in medieval times. I think the name of the poem is because the truth always appears and tells you when you were right or wrong. When he says truth, it means whatever you do the truth comes afterward.
Our present world is full of market, trades, money, consumerism, envy and selfishness. Hence, when I read "for greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty" it inmediately makes sense to me. People are still trying to show who is the one with more power and with more goods.
Clearly, we can notice that religious implications are part of this poem. In my opinion, not saying what is right or what is wrong. Religious implications that I saw were just advices to be more human. Firstly with yourself and then with the rest.
As I said before, this poem makes sense to me because I unfurtanetely can see that through time issues based on consumerism are still present. Therefore, reading this Chaucer's poem lets me think that there are people who believe in change. There are people who criticize the system and do something for it, at least with their closer people.
