Never Knew Existed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When a life one has chosen to live,
Has been based upon created lies.
That becomes the truth.
To tell and know.
Although...
Victimized are the ones sold,
To accept and believe...
Those lies to them told.
And will continue to protest against,
A truth that offends.
When and wherever it is revealed.
Since that which is true,
They never knew existed.
And threatened they are to think of it,
As an enemy.
Wishing to take,
And replace their realities.
With insisting the beliefs they keep,
Has had a detrimental effect...
On their kept mentalities.
