This 'Truth' Business Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Will any verdict to be reached,
Come to achieve peace for anyone?
Especially what occurs to happen.
And to whom it is done.
Anyone wanting to keep their deluded lives deceived,
Will always oppose what is known to be shown clearly.
No matter who observes truth that is served,
With a doing effectively.
A small pond rumored to have innocent fish,
Seem to attract outsiders believing...
The time has come for them to take advantage of this.

A refusing to accept truth has always been excused.
And the ones with wants to have their wishes pleased,
Are not historically known to listen...
Or comprehend the connecting of it to reality.

Duping to hoodwink has been sold as a part of life.
As crime and corruption satisfies those with this appetite.
And today...
Even the ones given the opportunity,
To walk on paths with a purpose to pursue truth...
Prefer detours,
Away to not display they've become motivated with that to do.

This 'truth' business isn't what is taught in school books.
This 'truth' business takes more seriousness than it looks.
This 'truth' business isn't a life many will choose.
Especially if it means anyone making attempts to do it,
Has to live a life,
Amongst those from birth....
Who have been taught it is safer to remain and stay deluded.
And they should if it means they will be publicly demeaned.

'They are killing our babies.'

~Oh?
And who killed them before 'they' did? ~

'I don't want to hear this. I don't.'

~But you will admit,
A love for shedding tears with accusations sent.
While getting the attention for a replaying of your sentiments.~

'Whose side are you on? '

~How many sides does the truth have? ~
