The Truth is Always in the Middle

     The truth is always in the middle
        guarded on both flanks

     It might stun so much should it escape
        we might as well give thanks

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.
