Under A Rug To Be Kept Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To concentrate on that which has been gossiped,
With a continuing to ignore the presence of facts...
Doesn't change to remove what has been swept,
Under a rug to be kept hidden and denied...
As means to use as a defense for anyone,
Who attempts to convince they were not aware...
Of their involvement to ruin someone's life,
Even though they actively participated...
In the spreading of lies with a doing to include others.
