Vinci Omni Verities L
Vinci Omni Verities L*
Written: By Tom Wright
8/7/00
From Mom,
I became educated at an early age,
That the ax of truth oft times cut deep.
That chips would fly and scatter where they will,
Always affecting others;
That, the ultimate payment for every act,
Good or bad, would always be consequences.
Better to endure these, whatever they are, for a short time,
Than surrender the advantages found in truth forever.
Mom called it being responsible!
I call it being loved!
* [Truth conquers all things]
