Perception Fears

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



When will it all end?

'When will all of what end?'

Allegations. Implications. Assumptions.
Deceptions and perceptions projected,
Upon various scenes to depict as being...
Dishonest reflections of reality.
Although still remain as tools used,
By the very ones who deceive, assume...
Imply and allege,
That others they come to fault...
Project their perceptions to have believe,
These reflections of truth...
Are not based upon proof.
But prefabrications created,
To enhance the minds of those who choose...
Fiction to represent,
Their chosen way of life to live.

'When will it all end?'

The fiction?
Or the allegations to imply and assume,
Those who deceive...
And project their perceptions,
To reflect a false representation of reality...
Ends deluding truth to face it as truth is to be!

'Ahhhh....Ahhhh...AHHHHH!'

Hmmm...
Even the most,
Basic and simple questions to ask these days.
Can trigger the minds,
Of those once conscious and thought stable...
To snap.

I just hope this is not one of those cases.
Although...
Screaming away from me down the street...
Like that?
Leaves me to believe,
There was something I said...
They had found to find,
Quick and sudden relief to release their fears.

Perception to keep inside unidentified?
Can increase a terrifying outlook of reality.
Thank God there are some,
Who are able to free themselves...
In the most unique of ways.
And even though it is for me tempting,
I can not take the credit...
For people leaving me screaming,
As if high on meth.
