No! No More
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
No! No more.
Of quietly sitting to tolerate,
A truth ignored to explore other options.
Or refuse to face,
What is going on these troubling days.
Too many being affected yet,
Assume that their staying away...
With a choosing isolation,
Will cure them from fear.
Are feeling more threatened by truth.
Kept to keep it nowhere near.
To take advice,
From others scared to death of it.
Afraid to accept reality.
Wherever it is to appear.
Although...
What is taking place is reality.
A reality many disbelieve for what it is.
Raw.
Personal.
And attacking those living in denial.
A denial some have begun,
To protect.
While observing their own,
Display of mental disarray.
As if to excuse and accept,
This sickening effect.
That has had on their quality of life.
Diminishing their delusions.
Right before their lieing blinded eyes.
No!
No more!
Fiction.
No!
No more!
Your fantasies have run out of allies.
The presence of truth is no one's enemy.
What it is to fear are lies told to hear.
And deception to fiction created to exist.
As those allowing themselves to follow,
And continue to pay the price to remain...
Locked up and chained,
To an ignorance maintained.
For sustained grief and self inflicted pain.
No matter who believes,
This exchange for truth is beneficial!
For some this may be.
But for the many wishing...
We all awaken to see reality?
Feel more threatened by those choosing,
Truth to delude and fiction...
That road ahead to pray it paved,
Is going to take common sense.
And more minds to use them.
Plus...
A rabbit's foot.
A four leaf clover.
Vitamins.
Exercise.
Diet change.
Mineral supplements.
And the best of medication,
Created homemade!
