TRUTH BOOTH<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It’s a cliche that we must learn
\nto avoid eternal burn.
\nLearning lifelines from our birth
\nto achieve intrinsic worth.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But learning is a two-edged sword.
\nTruth can help or vex your goard.
\nWhile learning falsehoods misdirect
\nto self-destructive genuflect.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Thus learning may advance your state,
\nor steal the dinner off your plate.
\nAs magic as learning can be,
\none must learn discriminately.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Important too to realize,
\nfalsehood can come in a disguise;
\npresent itself as passed dispute.
\nBlow that gas right out your chute!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Avoid assumptions based on past.
\nSeek true knowledge which will last.
\nUseful learning comes from the truth.
\nYou’ll always find light at its booth!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
