Magnified Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Be not about shock.
Or be the one to keep it doubted.
When all the troubles you had started.
To know these troubles could have stopped.

Don't be about shock.
Or be the one to keep it doubted.
When all the troubles you had started.
To know these troubles could have stopped.

You are phony like the baloney,
And you know it too.
You and others brought the heat,
To watch it as it grew.

Don't be about shock.
Or be the one to keep it doubted.
When all the troubles you had started.
To know these troubles could have stopped.

You initiated to create the bitter heat.
Roaring up to blame the flaming,
Done to do to leave...
Everyone believing you're the victim of the deed.

But don't be about shock.
When all these troubles you have started.
To watch and do nothing about it.
Or do one thing to get them stopped.

You lie to deny what now is magnified.
You may practice innocence,
But eyes can't hide a lie.
Told to disguise and deceive to convince.

So...
Be not about shock.

There's too many lies you have told now magnified.
Be not about shock.
Or run.
With it done.
There's too many lies you have told now magnified.
Be not about shock.
Or run.
With it done.
There's too many lies you have told now magnified.
Be not about shock.
