Reality Challenged
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Today?
Many are finding themselves challenged.
By reality.
And whether or not the proof of it,
Should remain to exist as a way of life to live.
Many prefer,
To keep their allegations and assumptions...
Kept to spread.
Whispered to gossip.
Without facts or evidence.
And with a hope that being duped,
Will eventually bestow upon them...
Benefits in their investments made,
In being stupid and as far away from truth.
As possible.
With fiction to delude,
That leaves their own reality created painless.
