MAN PAGES: TEST COMMAND
The test shall evaluate
and indicate status.
status true
and status false
are separate.
No options
shall be supported.
False cannot be resolved.
True has its flag set.
test shall evaluate
the symbolic.
These primaries can be combined:
True is false. False is true.
Objections were raised that
the real problem is misuse
of the test command,
but there was no easy way
to determine meaning.

True is false. False is true. No 2 truer statements said, or are they false? It sounds so much like politics these days.
These poems remind me of Orwell’s “1984”
Truth is a shape-shifter. The state of political discourse these days. Very relevant poem, even if it was unintentional.
A voyage into the labyrinth of the human mind. I don’t think a zebra would have these thoughts.
