Screams Of Unbearable Agony Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

In these times we live,
It is best to leave those to dangle...
From a thread of hope that their cherished beliefs,
Are worthy to cling onto with a keeping sacred.
Since so many are afraid to fall into a vat of truth,
Promising to drench them in it completely.

And traumatic would be the havoc heard,
By those who have already experienced...
Their own slipping of grips,
With a distancing from fantasies...
Just to listen to screams of unbearable agony,
They remember but have chosen to forget.
