Unravelling Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

We know the package looked bright at first!
Before he 'took' it away!
We know he has connections,
To people in high places.
And many of them have backgrounds,
In exclusive guarded shade!

His wife knows he isn't faithful to her...
Nor has he been in quite some time!
There's not a member in his family
That has credibility!
Everything they have has been stolen,
Every single dime.

And yet he is believed for the words that he speaks...
When nothing but lies have been spoken,
In every single speech!
And those who are honest,
Are called supporters of terrorists?
But the fear comes from those
Who are suppose to have control.

Unravelling is this scene they have made...
To keep those demanding more protection,
Of lifestyles they should save!
And a peace that isn't peaceful at all,
Keeps more threats coming...
Than before these 'crooks' began,
This downward crumbling fall!

Unravelling is a way of life,
Taken for granted
With a sudden panic to offer blight!
And warnings ignored...
Are now clearly in sight!
Those who have chosen to follow this path...
Can't hide their shame.
Or their judgements imposed,
Upon those who were right!
Those who have integrity,
Despite who finds them trite!
