Seduced By Trivia Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It is easier to take a taste that is sweetened.

Once seduced by trivia it becomes a wasted effort,
To reduce it to just a meaningless hype.
After it has blown to grow in significance,
To entice one's appetite.
Since a trivia introduced to praise delusion,
Feeds less on truth.

Until truth itself becomes viewed as ineffective.

And those most affected become conditioned to suspect,
Every aspect of truth with a wish to dissect it.
With a recruiting of those who have chosen to disrespect,
The presence of truth's existence...
To ensure none of it is left to have influence,
On anyone believing to be truthful is best.

It is easier to take a taste that is sweetened.
Until truth itself becomes viewed as ineffective.
