If It Wasn'T True Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The only ones known,
To dispute documented facts...
And with evidence of them shown,
Are those who have spent their entire lives...
Creating their own realities,
To never accept the proof of truth.
No matter who has deceived them with intent to do.

~I'm telling you...
There is nothing that supports your point of view.~

'I know what it is you are here attempting to prove.'

~What's that? ~

'You want me to refute my beliefs.
And what I've been told by others too!
But people would not have told me what I've heard,
If what they have said to me was not true.
I will live my life the way I choose.'

~Even if you've been lied to? ~

'Your facts will not satisfy the paying of my debts.
You live with your facts until you can come back,
With the evidence you are prepared to pay my bills.'

~You created them I didn't.~

'So who do you owe for the depth of your knowledge?
Who did you pay to leave me with the fact,
You can annoy.
And trust me...
I'm not lieing to myself about that! '

~I'm just here to share.~

'That's great.
Now take the sharing of your truth somewhere else.
You've convinced me,
That my delusions kept are at my expense.'
