Analysis of Investing In Correctness

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Investing in correctness.
With it done to obtain,
Zero defects.
Hoping the effectiveness,
Achieves at least,
Visual success.

Diminishing intimidation.
Gone to wipe it out.
Servitude to others too.
Gone to knock it out.
And...
Eliminating fools who choose,
To break laws and rules.
Doing this with every trick they use.

We must invest our time,
In doing what's correct.
For ourselves and others to expect.
If we do that now,
To allow it be done.
The effectiveness will achieve for us success.

Eliminating fools.
Choosing to break rules.
And...
Doing this to whom they use as tools.
