As Is To Be
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Living to live one's life.
With prayer to stay,
Done to do it faithfully.
Can save anyone from going through,
A living a life on lies to create them.
Especially when the truth,
Has been deceived to undo...
Those chosen to choose,
By liars who refuse a doing to pretend...
The ruining of lives,
Of others told not to listen...
To a truth told to them.
Yet will claim to place blame,
On truth to hear it heard...
They could not accept as it is to be.
