Something To Rely Upon (Community Service) Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many refuse to believe,
Someone else has taken the time...
To deceive them thoroughly.
And people like this will keep,
Every lie told to them...
As something to rely upon,
That will always be comforting to use.
As a truth others know,
Has little defense against it to show.

Although those who have been sold,
On lies to them told and can not let go...
Will prove their minds absent,
Of a common sense to present.
Especially when heard in an argument.
Loudly displayed to entertain in public.
As those who gather to watch for free,
Fools choosing to be observed...
For what they are as if providing a service.
And in 'some' communities,
This activity is an expected one to be done.
