Seeking To Continue To Deny Truth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Does a raising of awareness heal any would?
Does a craze of losing entitlements,
Create in one's mind...
A reason to find a validation to hate?
For who and why and for what?
Something that can not be destroyed by nature?
Something valued that is waterproof,
And sit for decades covered by a flooding...
That decides to stay put to collect pollution,
With rotten debris also under toxic soot

Does a raising of awareness,
End injustices.
Or protect human rights of those,
Wishing to live and let live the way they like.

Does a raising of awareness heal any would?
Does a craze of losing entitlements,
Create in one's mind...
A reason to find a validation to hate?
With an increasing of debates,
To find solutions for those circumstances...
That have become attached to one's blinding ignorance.
Although seeking to continue to deny truth.

Does a raising of awareness,
End injustices.
Or protect human rights of those,
Wishing to live and let live!
No!
Not until those who attempt hatred to control,
Realize what they fear...
Will still be themselves to undo!

The social element in it is misft.
The social element in this is...
Thick with an addiction,
Allow to sit sick...
In denying minds either unaware,
Or ill in consciousness.
