Afraid Of Truth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Peace of mind to find it found,
Also strips away layers of nonsense.
And everything one is not to be.
Giving the capability,
Of those with peace of mind to see,
Clearly to discover...
The meaning of honesty and trust.

Peace of mind to find it found,
Reveals who deceives.
With it shown to be known...
Few live to have honest qualities.
And this does not shock or surprise at all.
To realize the ones who lie to themselves,
Are quicker to lie to others as well.

Peace of mind to find this found,
From sunrise to sunset kept...
Refuses to accept living in denial.
Yet...
For whatever the reason,
Can not avoid people afraid...
Of truth to tell it like it is.
