The Fast Act Of Facts Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Whose innocence is left unaffected to protect?
Whose tender ears and covered eyes,
Have not yet peeped to hear in whispers...
Someone deceiving another with lies?
With a rush to cover them up and hide.

Who has not been taught to use alibis,
To excuse everything done they do to deny.
And who is it that still fears an honesty revealed.
Exposing with a quickness the fast act of facts.
Or the presence of truth pinching upon their backs.
