Literature Text

Sit upon a splintered board
with home beside, new lands denied.
One way to go; one chance to land,
think it through or never stand.

Home is where your soul belongs,
but there are lies inside these eyes;
new lands are vast with fortunes great!
Which way to go you must debate.

Faster now you must decide,
for uncontrolled your heart turns cold;
cover up the knots and grain,
but of the fence, or of your brain?
white·wash
-noun
1. a composition, as of lime and water or of whiting, size, and water, used for whitening walls, woodwork, etc.
2. anything, as deceptive words or actions, used to cover up or gloss over faults, errors, or wrongdoings, or absolve a wrongdoer from blame.
