Before Or After Constantine? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

An innocence meant to defend,
And always be protected to isolate...
From reality with no escape to face it,
Eventually creates less tolerance for an immaturity.
One known to be controlled and manipulated.
To leave more people self hating to defy deceit and lies,
When they discover their beliefs...
Have not been based upon concrete evidence.
But on perceptions to keep their locked chests stocked,
With stolen treasures.

'Is this 'before' or 'after' Constantine? '

What difference does that make,
If one's curiosity is left limited and not researched...
To measure what that difference is?
