The Unbelievable Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The unbelievable,
Can no longer be denied...
As a way of life.
Beliefs once kept,
And thought stabilized...
Have become,
A nonconformist...
Attitude to take.
And that view of reality,
Can 'today' get someone...
Easily labelled,
A maverick crazed.

The unbelievable to disbelieve,
And not accept?
Or reject those complicit,
With confusion and the rise...
Of mental illnesses to exist?
Is something anyone,
Who insists they are still...
Aware.
And conscious of nonsense.
May get them suspected,
As being a threat that today...
Upsets the 'norm'.
A process that has replaced,
Any signs of reality.
Successfully gone.
And here it is...
The unbelievable.
Believe it or leave it.
Protesting against it,
Is a waste of time...
Defending a mind confined,
By those crazed.
And loving...
The outrageousness of it all.
Believe it to witness.
Or leave it to accept.
Either way...
The unbelievable stays!
