Alarming Are Facts To Face Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Alarming Are Facts To Face



The weasel may go 'pop'.
Jack and Jill,
May go up that hill...
With a pail to fetch water.
Humpty Dumpty,
May sit on a wall to fall off.
And a woman living in a shoe,
May know not what to do...
With all of her fatherless children.
But facts...
Alarming as they are to face,
Has of yet disturbed the charm...
Surrounding Old MacDonald's Farm.
This to permit...
Is omitted from the reasons that may rhyme,
For those with minds fantasized to protect.

Yes!
Alarming are the facts to face.
And many racing to escape from truth,
Survive the chase.
The moment they rush inside comfort zones.
Turning on wide screen TVs.
And movies to watch in vivid 3-D.
Regardless what approaches,
That threatens their lives outside.
Ignoring all warnings,
Knowing their delusions kept...
Will always stay protected.
By the 'Wizard of Odd Behavior'.
And 'Creator of Bizarre Distractions'.
