Whether Done To Do It Or Not

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)

Whether you agree to disagree.
To then change your mind or not.
Few people choose truth,
In the presence of evidence exposing it.
With it done to become convince,
The truth as is does not exist.
Since there are others choosing to believe,
Their truth invented to deceive...
Makes more sense to create,
Than facts to face!

The truth does not choose to be what it is.
The truth as is,
Is as truth is to be.
Regardless where it may be,
People choose how far and deeply isolated...
They live gated and guarded,
In the State of Denial they have chosen to live!
