Postulate Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

These days we live are not for pretensions.
Or those with assumptions...
Who can't give it to anyone straight.

These days we live have been much maligned,
By mischievous maliciousness!
And those who have done this...
Need to do prsion time!

These days we live brought with them heartbreak.
Too many today have become victims of snakes.
And those who gambled away lives of others...
Deserve public floggings and removed from their undercovers.

These days we live will sadly not get better.
Not for those who sit wishing...
For those times to return reminisced.

These days we live are not for pretensions.
Or those with assumptions...
Who can't give it to anyone straight.
Absorbed they are in crookedness.
With deceit to satiate.

These days we live are exactly as observed.
Intended to shake those awake.
From fantasies kept...
By those now seen as fakers.
Those who baited hatred and fear.
As a means for their escape.

But it is too late!
For those who traded evil...
To postulate truth to manipulate their doings!
