Who Told You That? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who Told You That?



So much that could and should be understood,
Is left to assume to never be comprehended...
By those with minds manipulated to accept,
Created realities often changed to reflect...
Delusions protected in the presence of truth.
And regardless of the facts,
There will be some who gather to protest...
With a causing of unrest to attack them.
Disbelieving what is presented to become offended.

'We have everything here that appears,
On videotape.
And it is clear what was done...you did! '

~You'll have to convince me and others,
With more than that as proof.
Since you don't know me as well as the others do.~

'This 'is' evidence. This 'is' truth.
Truth as we know it to appear as we see it.'

~Oh really?
And who told you that? ~

Those accustomed to hide and deny their own lies,
Will never accept to believe others can see them...
For who they are.
And for the ones who come to agree,
Reality and truth revealed can not be concealed...
Are the people who often opposed,
For an honesty exposed.
To then be questioned about their absence of loyalty.

'Look. We have the proof. the evidence and the truth.'

~So what do you want me to do?
Confess?
Confess to being a victim of my own misdeeds?
Confess I am quilty to have 'that' believed?
You have totally evaded my human rights.
Show me where I signed a release to be videotaped.
Show me.
If you're going to show that all over the place,
I wanna get paid. I want to be interviewed on the 'news'.
I need a lawyer. An agent. And a movie deal made too.~

And these are the times,
Of our prioritized lives.
These are the times,
An attention to get will not be disguised.
