Stampede Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It is happening today!
Those deceivers, cheaters,
And thieves...
Are being chased away,
From their hiding places.

This is not a perception.
This is seen to be believed!

It is happening today,
As gossip told on ears received...
Many are being forced,
To reveal...
Truths unspoken to release and free.

Devastating fiction,
Created to distort facts.
Has produced a host of conflicts.
And those conflicts have returned,
Disturbing paybacks.

It is happening today!
Those deceivers, cheaters,
And thieves...
Are being chased away,
From their hiding places.

One must step quickly,
To clear a path for those who run.
A stampede increases...
As these people are clearly in fear.
They are frightened and appear...
Afraid of what is to come!
