When Looking Back Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When looking back,
And many today have done just that!
There are those who had opposed,
The ones believed outspoken and chose...
Intentionally,
To offend them and their kept delusions.
By making brash and audacious comments.
Absent of tact and baseless facts.

But a truth hidden and meant to remain smothered,
Has begun to surface from under a fantasized reality.
To have many disbelieving what they see now so vividly.
And unmistakably...
A clarity that is sugar free.

And the ones once dismissed,
As nonconformists and misfits...
Are sought to seek to deliver 'real' speeches,
But have declined to accept the hypocrisy.
With a preferred choice to stay away,
To keep their peace of mind increased.
