Never has it ever paid, <br />To exaggerate what takes place... <br />In someone's life to incite an invitation, <br />To spread indignities and lies. <br />Because of something done that is disliked. <br /> <br />All one has to do is to look around, <br />To see the damage done. <br />And if it is admitted as it seldom is, <br />Less incorrect information that is fed to wound... <br />To use effectively as weapons, <br />Would rid most small town communities of their problems. <br /> <br />IF... <br />The doing of this, <br />Becomes a collective commitment to rid.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
