Known And Not Overblown Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Left embarrassed and still they protest,
Against the facts revealed to leave no one to guess.
But they are not the ones,
To have endured a suffering felt that had come.
With expectations from others,
A forgiveness should be done to welcome.
As if a forgetting is that simple to dismiss.

However...
Even with the evidence to prove to those opposing,
No matter who has been embarrassed...
By that which has been exposed.
Only those who have been victimized by those who lie...
Have the right to remain bitter AND distant,
If this is what they've chosen.

Although it will be the deceivers shown,
With mental instabilities,
Recognized to be eventually known and not overblown...
To embarrass the ones who now regret what they've done,
By befriending someone...
Who only has intention to get from others attention.

'And you know what's incredible? '

~No.
What? ~

'They were doing it long before it became popular to do!
With a ruining of relationships for years.
And now a seeking of psychologists are sought,
To explain an epidemic permitted to exist.
And why those who remain sane have been accused,
For being more interested in keeping their distance.'

~It's all madness.
Whether it's an epidemic or not.~

'That depends on where you are viewing this.
And how serious you wish to keep a kept distance,
From it.'
