Hacked Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Living in times when minds are blind to facts,
And attracted to deceptions that have intercepted...
Reason, common sense and consciousness,
Those who have accepted...
Delusions to fantasize and not truth to live,
Will never be convinced to patiently listen to comprehend...
That beliefs have long been hacked to circumvent,
And prevent...
The existence of honesty to promote it as offensive.
And abused it is to to be used and confuse,
As a means to diminish the process of critical thinking.
For the purpose to have everyone dependent,
On lies to follow and swallow whole to quickly digest.
While despising just nibbles of truth that are told,
With a comfort that remaining ignorant satisfies desires...
To easily sell to those sold on anything cheap and sweet.
