Analysis of Truth Heard
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
All truth spoken that offends,
Will always upset those who protest...
Against it heard.
To protect themselves against it.
Living in denial,
Is such an abusive weapon to use.
To prove just how effective,
Those accused of being honest...
Can lose their credibility.
And made to look like fools.
Everyday...
Examples of this are on display.
By those made determined,
To betray truth speakers...
As being crazed.
And yet still truth,
Stays fighting against...
Deluded people with polluted minds.
Blinded to the facts.
In the hopes they will destroy,
Reality of the truth.
To erase from their lives.
Leaving them to suffer through,
A fiction without...
Sorrow and pain felt to remain!
'Oh...
Such poppycock and B.S.'
'I know.
But...
That poppycock and B.S.
Has nothing to do,
With the spreading through humanity...
The sickness of fiction,
That has left mentalities deluded!
Including all races, colorless faces.
And places where they live.
Participating in the killing,
The truth as is!'
'And...
This you claim is your observation,
Means what to those in disbelief?'
'Words without action,
Is only a distraction.'
'Did I not say...
It's all poppycock and B.S.?
Even the sound of faked bombs,
Dropping in the distance.
All of it is theater.'
