When A Real Rose Is Presented Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Here we live in these times to face,
When it makes absolutely no sense...
To chase fantasies with belief,
Truth can be re-invented to replace...
Conditions to reject when consciously,
They have been confirmed and accepted.

Yet laying blame on others to claim,
A direction followed gone unopposed...
Did not with a doing offer other roads,
From which to choose.
But the many upset refuse to acknowledge,
A doing they had chosen to do.

Seeking something that looks more like a Rose,
But rejecting the scent of it presented...
Makes no sense.
Whatever the intent with a doing represents.
Seeking something that looks more like a Rose,
Makes no sense when a real Rose is presented.
