Talk about playing both ends against the middle! It makes truth somewhat mysterious. A great poem, Gershon.

Yor comment nails it, Evelyn: Both ends played against the middle -- the old 'Squeeze Play.' Thanks, gw

I love the first two lines...that is the reality, isn't it. Everyone seems to guard their own truth...individuals as well as countries. Well penned, yellow rose

Like gold bullion, it's guarded -- never to be revealed.
