Faithfully Deluded Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Faithfully Deluded



Repeatedly disbelief is expressed.
Although...
The presence of police,
Has increased to address...
The rise of crime in schools and on streets,
In inner cities and neighborhoods...
Where people are left to suspect,
Everyone they meet to admit their disbelief.
And with a doing on a daily basis...
Reality to face is erased to delete and disconnect.

Acceptance to leave with delusions to keep,
Has not yet kept the people assured of finding peace.
Acceptance to leave with delusions to keep,
Has not yet kept pretentions a standard to value...
Without them protected or witnessed to be released,
As ideals of reality to re-enforce has lost its endorsement.
While too many people are observed to bleed,
From an unlimited ignorance too overwhelming...
So effective that those defending it...
Choose to become offended when truth is introduced.

And yet...
Repeatedly disbelief is expressed.
Although...
The presence of police,
Has increased to address...
The rise of crime in schools and on streets,
In inner cities and neighborhoods...
Where people are left to suspect,
Everyone they meet to admit their disbelief.
Although...
Repeatedly disbelief is expressed.
And yet...
Those who are wishing to have this mindset corrected,
Are found to have offended those who are faithfully deluded.

'Let us pray for better days to come.'

~I don't intentionally wish to offend anyone,
But...
Wouldn't it be more effective,
If we got up off our knees with a proving we could do it? ~

'And leave our dependency on delusion?
That would be blasphemous.
And we are not that foolish to offend our kept beliefs.'
