Analysis of Denying Truth
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It is not that difficult to notice,
These days to hear it heard...
People focused more on lies to tell.
About everything.
To justify the doing of it.
Yet will deny the hearing of truth told.
With this to claim not to know,
The difference between truth.
Or its reality.
Done to defend their using any alibi.
As a means to expect,
The getting to receive quick forgiveness.
Given to them immediately.
For what they did to do intentionally!
