What is the worth of a single man? Does he have a price in gold, or maybe it’s water in a can? What is the cost of a peaceful life? Free? Or must there first be strife? What is the value of love? Does it have a value? Or is it a gift from above? The answers lie in truth, although, The question must be asked; do you wish to know? And what is the truth worth? Pain and suffering, sorrow and hurt? For, many times, this is the price paid your whole life through. Now. What is the cost of truth for you?
