Pitfalls Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It is best to leave those who accept,
To disbelieve alone.
Statistics has shown this to be beneficial.
Especially for the ones,
Not prepared to have their peace sacrificed.
Unless you are the kind to expect,
A heated debate to lead to some achievement.
And you choose to use disbelievers,
As a practice to keep truth validated.
With it unexpectedly discovered eventually,
By those disbelievers who had opposed truth...
With it shown exposed and to them known.
And for whatever the reason,
This satisfies your attraction to keep your addiction,
To medicated your headaches as a way to prove...
That being human has its pitfalls.
And crawling out from under these traps unscathed,
Makes you feel you have contributed successfully!
And those who chose to keep deluded,
Are 'thisclose' from having their fantasies fade away.
