Removed. Erased Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To accept and understand,
What is falsely presented.
And made convinced to believe.
With this done consciously.
Without facts.
Or have them distracted.
By one accustomed to attract with an act.
And few are not detoured.
But stay to remain kept focused on that.
Leaves truth to hear it spoken,
More a joke then seriously taken.
To eventually have many believe,
What is heard to be true.
Comes from one faking to become disputed.
In an argument that supports and defends,
Liars, their lies and a way of life.
To replace values and their quality.
Removed.
Erased from minds to forget as if not to exist.
What truth had meant to mean.
Or why it had been regarded as a necessity.
