i have not resolved until this date
whether i should unreservedly speak truth
or when necessary conceal unkind truth
when real is uncomfortable speak deceit
truth is very real and is often cruel
even now it is the cruelty of fact
that makes me speak in a parable
to carefully conceal what is in heart
truth makes in me a little scratch
and it hurts within me much
that truth i refuse to speak out
making me to hum this new adjust
