Taking It Too Deep (Meant Distractions) Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Taking it too deep.
What is said.
Taking it too deep.
Inside the head.
Taking it too deep.
Reality.
Clearly there for all to see.

It's...
So ironic.
It's...
Hard to believe.
It's...
Incredible,
How easy people are deceived.

And yet,
The only thing that changes...
Is the time on a nonstopping,
Clock to watch.
Before a watching it...
Stops with a bomb dropped.

Taking it too deep.
A complaining.
Taking it deep.
To petty depths.
Taking it too deep.
What is allowed...
To scare people with threats.

Taking it too deep.
Distractions.
Taking it deep.
To get reactions.
And it's deep,
What is accepted...
To create conflict and grief.

And yet,
The only thing that changes...
Is a misery deepened,
To believe,
It!

Taking it too deep.
Fear to feel.
Taking it too deep.
What is not real.
Taking it too deep.
Chaos to market.
And weapons sold to stock.

It's...
So ironic.
It's...
Hard to believe.
It's...
Incredible,
How easy people are deceived.

Taking it too deep.
Meant distractions.
Taking it deep.
What is deceived.
Taking it too deep.
What's on the surface,
Easily...
Deluded in minds to be,
Distracted by the facts.
And those facts deceived.
To take them,
Deep.
Leaving all minds to be,
Polluted to delude.
Leaving all minds to be,
Distracted from the facts.
And leaving minds left,
To grieve...
Deeper to a depth to keep.
And leaving minds left,
To grieve...
Distractions.
