Kept Depths Of Ignorance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A turning away from a tide,
That has already flooded...
With a devastating of negativity,
Has become too late to avoid.

Since excusing the use of pretentions,
To think of them as a defense against reality...
Can not prevent,
The loss of life caused by kept delusions.

And those seen fleeing from false beliefs,
Have found themselves now chased...
By fantasies they paid to keep,
Costly deceptions...
Now seeking payment for debts,
Indebted to high price of kept ignorance.

A turning away from a tide,
That has already flooded...
With a devastating of negativity,
Has become too late to avoid.

It is the fear of kept depths of ignorance,
That continues to chase with threats.
