Without One 'If' Wished Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Without One 'If' Wished



I understood what it was and wasn't.
Without one 'if' wished.
Or a 'could of' to see it differently.
And no motive did I have to deceive.
Even if I wanted to I couldn't.
Yet...
Others who saw it for what it wasn't,
Have come to discover it for what it is.
And for some reason,
I had something to do with it!

Although nothing,
Not even the presentation of facts...
Will convince them that,
It never 'was' what they wanted it to be at all.
And I can't believe they are still protesting what it wasn't.
To direct their anger at me because it is what it is.
With a claiming I have been brainwashed,
By the others.

'Why can't you just be dishonest and lie? '

Oh.
I hadn't thought of that.
It would make things a lot easier for me,
Wouldn't it?

'A lot easier.'

Thank you, Doc.
Forget that prescription I asked for.
I'm cool.
