For Those Feeling More Detached Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So uncomfortable some are with the truth.
It's not enough for them to have it smeared.
And jeer at those,
Who have come not to fear it.

So much of what they believe,
Has been created on falsities.
An openness with honesty...
Is as laughable to them,
As any cartoon a child sees.

And those who have discovered themselves,
In the midst of quick and sudden change...
Are finding out about truth more today than ever.
And this has become traumatic,
For those feeling more detached...
Entrapped and much deranged!
