Analysis of Proof Of Truth
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Many are finally,
Seeking and wanting...
Proof of truth.
With evidence and facts produced.
To approve of it and accept.
Although...
What is revealed must have,
One exception.
And,
That exception is...
Any truth to be presented,
Has to represent their beliefs.
And meet their terms,
To agree specifically to a way of life.
Without introducing confusion.
Or unnecessary stress to cause,
A going through a thought process!
