There are things overheard ...

Then there are those timely statements of fact

There are things declared ...

Then there are phrases upon which we act



It's better to consider it all ...

And then to weigh the balance in our minds

To keep us from being ardent fools

Or worse yet ... becoming even more blind



- Tristram
