Analysis of Reason
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Revelation is the therefore in a very trying time.
It adds a little reason to a very vexing rhyme.
It shines a light on trouble;
In a world of waste and rubble.
And it leads you on your way to get back home!
To turn and run for cover from a jilted, angry lover;
Don’t walk through this evil world all alone!
