Analysis of 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.
