Engaged To Be Outraged Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You may if you choose,
To be engaged with outrage...
Until being enraged leaves you crazed.
That...
Without argument,
Is a choice you have chosen to choose.

Yet with each step,
To consciously witness and accept...
Every evidence of proof produced,
You denied to disbelieve...
Messages clear and appearing in 'neon'.
Truth as it is to appear you ignored.

Well...
Without argument or debate.
Or expressions of shock to insinuate,
Your surprise has awakened...
Sensibilities from deep sleep.
Has been your choice to choose to have chosen,
Being engaged with outrage.
Until your enrage to allow it has you crazed!
