Not There Or Theirs To Verify
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Stop accepting what is heard to hear,
As truth made clear.
Without questions to ask.
To validate rumors gossiped to pass.
This preventative action to take,
Could begin to heal broken relationships.
Especially in times,
Continued to entice the inviting of conflicts.
With a duping to easily deceive,
Many unaware,
Of the popularity...
Mental disease has become.
If truth is not there or theirs to verify,
Suspected lies told to tell and sold to sell?
It is no one else's responsibility,
To claim buyer's remorse...
For what they bought without a return policy.
And with it done to infest an interest to invest,
In a manifesting that spreads in heads...
Frauded to corrupt,
Thoughts once to have and common sense.
Now gone to tolerate the prolonging,
Of an ignorance today justified...
As a normalized way of life.
Identified as successful progress made.
Although...
Nowhere discovered to be found,
In attempts made...
By turning the clock back looking for proof,
Of something beneficial once done...
To avoid the truth and its reality to prevent,
A future awaiting patiently...
To be smothered breathless by ignorance.
'Uh...
No offense.
But...
I don't want to be a party popper.
Or one of those Ballon pin using busters.
However...
Wouldn't your efforts to endeavor,
Be better served if you looked forward...
And not backwards to a future anticipated?'
'Why should we do something,
So stupid as that?
What was good for our ancestors,
Is good enough for us...
To remain maintaining valuable traditions.'
'Yeah. but...
Kept at whose expense?
Economically speaking, of course.'
'We...
Have long begun to teach our children,
They are entitled to credit their debts...
With a paying homage,
To their ancestry.
Incapable to take advantage,
Of delusions kept...
For purposes to address pretensions made.'
'Uh...
In abundance are our problems.'
'What?
Huh?'
