An Ignorance To Keep Is Extremely Expensive Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

As difficult as it appears to be,
Remaining positive has...
Eventual benefits,
From a negativity...
That seems to be an undefeatable beast.
Beasts kept awake,
With betrayals to create...
Do not sleep.

Notice to know this...
Even though crime and corruption,
Blatant theft and deception...
Domestic violence,
With mental and physical abuse on the rise.
And lieing politicians,
Protected by loopholes in laws they create.
Hypocrites with professed religious beliefs,
Demonstrate a hatred towards those that don't...
See God in the way claimed to be,
Accepted by a popularity of propaganda.
For the purpose to separate and divide,
Those who celebrate the downslide of life.

Know this...
Before taking a brick and throwing it,
To break every window...
In a business that supplies your every need,
On a daily basis.
And owned by someone,
You have been led to believe is your enemy.
Know this...
Before taking a brick and throwing it,
To perceive this will relieve YOUR frustrations.
And medicated to drug your anxieties.
Know this and keep it noticed...
As difficult as it appears to be,
Remaining positive has...
Eventual benefits,
From a negativity...
That seems to be an undefeatable beast.
With a keeping of that beast pleased to know...
That someday you will pay for your ignorance.
And an ignorance to keep...
Is 'extremely' expensive.
Ask anyone indebted to regrets.
