Heard To Hear Or Not
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Truth spoken clearly to hear it.
By many who despise and resent,
Those who represent honesty to present.
May anger, annoy and upset.
However...
Denying to hide,
With kept self deception to delude truth...
Seldom stays to go over well,
In the minds of the ones...
Living to depend upon,
Lies to tell to themselves to believe...
Truth heard to hear or not,
Is a fad that eventually fades away.
