Analysis of For All At No Cost
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The truth to discover it for what it is to live,
Is there for all at no cost to stay that way.
Or pay the interest it takes to remain,
Deluded and addicted to deception fictioned!
And yet...
Most people are disbelievers,
As to how truth, if true, can be so effective...
Why is it so many are willing to pay,
To keep themselves as far away from it...
As they possible can.
Feeling to fear threatened.
And the positive results from it are free.
