For The Sake Of Visuals Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What dilemmas can be solved,
If the proof of truth is not involved?
Or sits in places unfaced and hidden,
Away from a table that should enable...
A sifting through facts.
How can issues be resolved,
If a bickering revolves...
Around a nitpicking to continue that!

And yet...
Professions of confessions,
Stay falsely intact.
As a plea to end needless debates,
Are purposely presented to create more attacks.
And bets are placed to congratulate,
The one already deemed to be victorious...
With a guaranteed confetti laced parade.
Just for the sake of visuals made.

'Excuse me,
But...
What has any of this have to do,
With the presence of truth? '

~Truth?
This is about image.~

'But earlier you said...'

~Ssshhh.
The presentation of the trophy is about to begin.~

'What a farce.'

~Yet...
You must agree,
It is one that is spectacular.
Isn't it? ~
