Too Incredible To Be Believed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Does a taking an opportunity to escape,
From reality on a daily basis...
Make the effectiveness of it diminish,
As to not to exist?
Within boundaries and set limits?
Or...
Does something else become more prioritized,
Until the wishing for it 'is' that reality...
Given life to breathe and enforced to be believed?
To move what one decides and finds,
In a collective mindset to leave truth behind?

A condoning of a mental illness permits,
The absence of truth and all connected to it.
And those delusioned become increasingly offended.
With a protecting of delusions to keep them valued.
Until truth from one's existence finally disappears.
To allow conflicts to arise as if benefits to them are near.
Regardless of the suffering or who remains living in fear.

'It's unbelievable what's happening.
Too incredible to be believed! '

When?
What is and how?

'The moment I noticed the price of my medications,
Beginning to steadily increase to decrease my dedication.
And now instead of on a daily basis,
My bliss is limited to only two days a week.'

What other drugs are you on?

'DRUGS?
I am not an addict.
What I take are prescriptions!
Prescribe to me by someone certified.
And that is entirely different.'
