Unaware Of What's Going On Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who would ever believe,
Living life in days to see...
It easier to pretend,
Being unaware of what's going on.
Than declaring an awareness of it.
To then receive evil eyes staring.
As if they had been victimized,
By someone...
Attempting to destroy,
Their lives enjoying...
Remaining to stay far and distant,
From reality.
For as long as they possibly can!

"What are you trying to do to us?
What are you trying to do,
To our way of life?
Destroy every bit of it.
Piece by piece by piece?
Can't you see...
This is our lives.
Why can't you just leave us alone.
Crazed, confused and deluded!
We are fine with it.
We are and will be okay! "
