Analysis of Assumptions
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Assumptions to make them,
Has yet to make it proven...
A dependable source for maintaining,
One's healthy to keep mentality.
Although many rely upon assumptions.
Since too difficult it would be,
To leave behind assuming to admit...
The doing of it is more detrimental,
Than beneficial to anyone incapable...
To resist an addiction to commit,
Themselves to a habit they deny...
Has been the main reason,
Friction, division and conflicts exists...
Between those whose ears,
They used to whisper allegations.
While others receiving these lies,
Can not wait to add their spice to them!
And there you have it,
Witnessed to observe.
Urban or suburban,
Fenced in and gated neighborhoods.
And freely displayed.
It does no longer matter,
Where the craze is to see...
Folks out of their minds.
To have volunteered giving them away!
