Analysis of Fair, Truth And Fiction Taught To Delude
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
What is fair.
What is truth.
And what is fiction,
Taught to teach.
With a doing kept to delude.
Fair today no longer appears,
Anywhere to exist.
Gone are examples applying of it.
Truth?
A more deceiving of truth,
Is better known and shown...
By those who lie.
To then claim being victimized.
And believed by those deceived.
The saddest of the bunch,
Are the ones...
From birth taught to teach,
A prioritizing of fiction to delude reality.
And tormented with an obligation to defend,
Their way of life kept fantasized.
With a perceiving themselves,
Irreplaceable, untouchable and envied.
Although...
Have an overwhelming need,
To prove this to others.
Others,
Who can not be left alone...
By the ones who travel distances,
Roaming as the nomads they are.
With a wish to validate,
Just how envious and jealous...
Others are of 'them'!
What is fair?
What is true?
What is kept fictioned taught to teach?
And...
Sought to keep it kept to delude?
Confidence.
Competence.
Acceptance of one's identity.
And an ethnicity to have.
Without feeling insecure to pretend it had!
