Habitual Perceptions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Anyone who is...
Has been,
And always will be...
An habitual liar.
May not be aware of it.
Since this condition,
Had been given permission to exist.
Or tolerated to ignore.
By those affording,
From this to keep their distance.

However...
No one unknown to the truth,
Will be found rushing to tell it.
As if amazed to have it discovered.
And defining it in everything they do.
This to await,
May cause those conscious to prematurely age.

Although there are many,
Overwhelmingly accepting.
Approve and applaud a truth created.
Another perception to embrace it welcomed.
With this done to be made convinced,
Their own truth to know...
Makes little sense to keep it told.
And relieved to have their truth to leave,
Behind. Abandoned.
To never again face the pain of its reality!
