For Them 'That' Begins Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
For Them 'That' Begins
The real reason unemployment statistics,
Are dropping?
To keep mouths closed,
And delusions from stopping?
And favor those who believe things are great!
With an economy flourishing in fantastic ways!
When the days of unemployment compensation ends...
And there are no benefits to monitor,
To send to a family of five or maybe ten?
They fall from radar!
They become the hungry and the homeless!
And for them 'that' begins!
The greedy are still the greedy!
The treachery and deceit are still tools used...
For fantasies to continue on mindsets to transcend!
As lifestyles of us all,
Dwindle!
To uphold beliefs a relief comes to release tensions!
And honesty will never be!
Nor the truth to those deceived...
Mentioned!
But...
It will certainly not be avoided in this season!
As lifestyles of us all, Dwindle! To uphold beliefs a relief comes to release tensions! And honesty will never be! Nor the truth to those deceived... Mentioned! But... It will certainly not be avoided in this season! ........speaking from the heart to hearts...indeed!

This poem reminds me of Yeats poem The Second Coming: 'Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold' His is a poem which to me seems currently appropriate for revival. You have hit on many aspects of that theme in your fine write - would that the truth you tell were not actually so.
