Analysis of Truth To Discover
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Truth to discover,
For what truth is to be...
Is a journey of one's own doing.
And not told by anyone,
To hear them attempt to convince...
What they were told heard to hear,
Has got to be true!
Truth and gossip,
May or may not be distant relatives.
But one is closer to reality than the other!
