Let's Be Honest About This Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Let's be honest about this!

'No.
Why should we?
Look behind you.
The majority now follow us.
Plus it has stopped raining.
A rainbow appears.
And...
Who knows,
If we keep with our beliefs...
Soon we will be near the Emerald City.'

WHAT EMERALD CITY? ? ?

'Keep your voice down.
I said IF we keep our beliefs...
Soon we will be near the Emerald City.'

But that's lieing.

'Details.
Details, details, details.
So what?
Something will show up...
And we will call it the Emerald City.
You know how it works.
You've been playing this game longer than I have.'
