Conveniently Accused
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
So many have chosen to refuse to listen.
And this to choose,
Has been their preference to do it.
Too many decide to ride,
Inside of a bandwagon...
Away from the front.
To feel comfortable and safe.
Taking their seats to sit in the back.
Done to talk about anything and anyone.
Not to know.
With others knowing less than that.
And in the back of a bandwagon.
Starting their own mess to add,
To pass around and spread the crap.
So many have chosen to ignore the facts.
Facts to not know,
For them does not attract.
Especially the ones who refuse to listen.
Or care to pay attention,
To hear what truth is.
Since this interferes what it is they wish...
Others to hear they whisper in their ears.
This to do makes it a convenience to accuse,
Others to victimize...
With lies told by those who become amused.
Knowing exactly what they choose.
Done to do to others innocently to abuse.
But a backstabbing like this,
Does not end so quick and swift.
It switches to shift.
From the back to the front.
Where other bandwagon riders sit.
Hearing to listen and paying attention,
As this whispered mess of a B.S. spreads.
And...
Guess what becomes discovered?
Those conveniently accused,
For something they did not do.
Just happened to be on the same bandwagon.
YES!
But riding in the front.
Munching on snacks.
And sipping on homemade tea.
Pouring it not to know,
Lieing riders who lie on others...
With intent to deceive.
All eventually reach the same destination.
To see themselves for who they are.
A bandwagon full of liars.
Ultimately paying the consequences,
At their own expense.
Done to do.
Without excuses to refuse but admit,
Their choice to choose a destination reached.
Had been theirs and no one else to accuse.
Regardless where they sat to sit to chit-chat!
'ALL ABOARD THE BANDWAGON.
ALL ABOARD. ALL ABOARD!'
