What Is Thought To Think Known
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
What is thought to think known.
To hear it spread and heard everywhere.
Without truth or reality,
Validated to use that confirms...
One's own belief.
Can be the undoing,
Of once long ongoing cemented relationships.
By the very ones,
Claiming to be aware to tell told is there.
Although seldom seen around,
But on the phone Sun up and Sun down...
Adding more lies to the lies told to them!
No matter how small or large a town may be,
Rumors told and sold to buy...
Seem quicker to sell,
To many incapable to use their own minds.
For the purpose to separate,
Fiction to delude and reality.
Since truth and common sense,
Is too difficult a task...
For minds quick and fast to be entertained.
And at someone else's expense to pay!
'Hello?
Hello?
Are you still there?'
'Yes. Yes, I'm still here.
I had to find a pen and some paper.
Now...
Repeat to me what you just said.
I don't want to be accused,
Of making stuff up and exaggerating.
They did what?'
'Let me know when you're ready.'
'I'm ready.
But say it slower to me this time.
I don't believe them to do,
Something like that I did not know.
Hold on just a sec.
I need a cup to hear you pour this tea!
Go ahead.
They did what???
I don't believe it.
Go on...
Unbelievable.
Then what else happened?'
