A Never Ending Process Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The proof of truth with evidence,
Does not excuse the feelings of one abused...
By those who choose to deceive purposely.

Nor should anyone expect,
One affected to be readily forgiving...
Of those accepting deceptions to believe.

Often people easily deceived like this,
Will quickly accuse one innocent of being the culprit.
To victimize as their defense for being convinced of lies.

'I tried repeatedly to tell them,
I apologize for being stupid.
However...
Each time I attempted this,
They looked at me as if I was an idiot.'

~Well...
I can understand the confusion.
You see...
If you had said,
You apologize for being a 'fool'...
They may have 'had' a reason,
And a cause to excuse you for being stupid.~

'What difference does that make.
An apology is an apology.'

~I agree.
And in 'some' cases that may be true.
Although in your particular situation,
It would have been easy for them...
To forgive a fool for being stupid.
But...
For whatever the reason,
They believe you to be an 'idiot'.
And being an idiot is a never ending process.~

'So what should I do? '

~Avoid at all cost,
Any excuse they wish to use...
To have you arrested for stalking and harassment.
Stay as far away from them as possible.
You could end up in jail.~

'What would you have done? '

~I carry a bat in the trunk of my car.
You idiots are all over the place these days.
You wouldn't have gotten that close to me.
But then again...
I've witnessed you be a fool on several occasions.
And if 'ever' you see me go into my trunk to get my bat...
Don't ask me any questions about that.
Just run. And, as fast as you can.~
