Refuting To Dispute Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It is to no one's advantage,
To escalate a heated debate...
The evidence of truth produced.
Or who discovered it.
When and where to have it faced.

And it is to no one's advantage,
To deny and delude...
This truth produced includes everyone.
Not just a few,
Attempting to use...
Clouded visions of those unconscious.
Feeding upon deception, dishonesty,
Corruption, division, conflict and racism.
Done to perceive,
Truth to present it...
Has come to attack their freedoms!
When they have been solicited to participate,
In the erasing of their quality of life.
Choosing a refuting to dispute,
Reality for what it is.

"This stupidity can not be,
The next pandemic."

-Well...
For some,
Clarity comes much too late.
And for others,
Praying to wish for a vaccine created...
Is not for a virus.
But for that same stupidity.
That has been on the scene for centuries.
What you have awakened to notice,
Has always been an accepted part of life.
Many are hoping the effect of it,
Can be again 'normalized'.
More accepted as an average craze.
You know...
Something that gives them,
The reason to defend their pretensions.
And a preference to choose,
Who and what it is they can accuse...
As threats to their way of life! -

"That...
Is a sickness."

-No!
You're kidding.
Seriously? -
