Refused To Accept Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Today...
It seems few take seriously,
The many ways they've been betrayed.
Even the ones,
Openly and clearly deceived cleverly,
Keep doubting the truth.
And the appearance of it to believe.

Anyone who speaks defiantly,
Against misconceptions...
And the dire affects lies have left.
Become the ones to be subjected,
By their own people...
Who have long accepted,
The reality endorsed...
To enforce upon themselves,
A negligence they continue...
To protect,
An ignorance and its presence.
And...
Will never believe they've been,
Duped to fool.
With a doing that reflects,
Mindsets choosing to accept...
Whatever they are told.
As long as reality and the truth,
Is kept deluded.
And...
Refused to accept and left deceived.
