Fables And Other Assorted Fantasies Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It takes some people,
A very long time to make up their minds...
To digest what conflicts with their beliefs.
Beliefs set in cracking concrete,
Yet kept are their wishes...
If change is to be made at least they should come,
With more of a subtlety done.
Instead of leaving those shocked and horrified,
That a day has arrived...
When truth and the acceptance of facts,
To avoid has become impossible.
Gone is the ease to make that choice.

What had been whispered to mention,
Has found a comfort and sits in backyards now.
But hoping if prayed away to ignore its existance,
Many still hold onto beliefs ignoring the enormity of it...
Will lift to drift away from their presence!
As if a myth like a superstition can be sold,
To those buying into fables and other assorted fantasies.
However...
Stunned are the ones who have become offended,
By anyone who insists,
A scheduling to put reality on their agenda...
Is not a suggestion as it is highly recommended.
