That 'Rubbing' Done That Has Appalled You Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
That 'Rubbing' Done That Has Appalled You
If you really want to feel offended by anything done,
To you that is believed is directed.
Be you offended,
By being deceived, manipulated and used.
By those who have thrown that up in your face.
Then compared that to something you've heard,
That you have felt...
Rubbed you the wrong way.
Now...
With that 'rubbing' done that has appalled you,
Connect that something said...
To that which is actually happening to you.
On a daily basis that you have blindly accepted.
With that false faith you project to protect.
That accepts being deceived, manipulated and used.
What words have you heard has directly affected your life?
The words you don't like?
Or the people honest enough to say them?
Now...which do you prefer when being stabbed in the back?
Being able to selected the instrument used?
Or do you have a preference for a certain color?

Appalling as it might seem. Sometimes you need it. Sometimes you don't like it. But that don't make it any less the truth. Being honest can be very offensive. And make one very defensive. But sometimes you still need hear it. So you can come to the acceptance of it. Instead of living in denial. A fantasy world of make believe. A imagination full of trickery. Very inspiring poem, thanks for sharing it.
