That To Do Done

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



What one earns.
With evidence of proof produced.
Few will dispute or question the truth of it.
Although some do come from nowhere to say,
What was earned by one to accomplish.
And achieve.
Has been easy.

Repeatedly heard to hear,
Out from the mouths of the ones...
Doing nothing else to make it clear,
That to do done.
Comes to them successfully.
And often enough not to suspect it seldom.
Without need of proof or its truth produced!
