Know the Real Score

K-now the real score, 
A-im at the true situation; 
T-wenty-second of October, 
R-ead beneath the beacon.
I-ntend to know the real score, 
N-ever rely on hearsay; 
A-llow your eyes to see under the light of day.

V-icious lies and mere opinion
A-re sure source of grudge; 
N-ews on deceit denies verity, 
Z-one of fraud will misjudge.
U-se the sense of honesty, 
E-vade the heart of rumor; 
L-et both your mouth and mind
A-sk and know the real score.
