Protecting Fiction To Delude

Being among those depicted 'baby bloomers'.
Growing to bloom.
And witnessing the blooming,
Withering away with age to fade.
I must admit to say,
If I had been sixty years younger...
Without having to experience,
The existence of truth to then face.
I too would protect,
A delusional way of life to defend it fictioned.
Subjected unconsciously to believe,
Everything I heard to hear.
With accepting without questioning,
The presence of a reality unknown to me.
Since truth,
Never to have been introduced as a priority.
Would not be my concern.
If the evidence of it,
Had gone untold.
And its significance,
Was neither advertised to market.
Or sold on TV.
Like everything else to sell,
From decadence.
Corruption, crime, racial division.
And products to enhance,
Hightened pleasurable sexual performances.
While well paid hypocrites,
Attempt to deny their involvement...
In censoring reality and the facts of life.

If I had been sixty years younger.
And not introduced
To the effectiveness of what truth use to be.
I too would value being disrespectful.
Undisciplined and dishonest.
With a doing my best like everyone else,
Wishing to achieve a quality of life.
Without truth interfering,
Attempting to destroy,
Preferences I choose to decide what I like.

'But...
Isn't that being hypocritical?'

Of course it is to know it is.
However...
I did say,
I am older to have aged.
A lot.
And taught to know the difference,
Between quality and filth.
Today?
It is the quality of filth that sells.
And marketing the benefits of truth,
Has of yet,
Been told to tell it or sold anywhere...
Done to do well to advertise!

'So...
What do you recommend or suggest?'

Well...
I must admit.
My days of recommending to suggest,
Anything to anyone...
Are over.
It is pointless to lie about aging.
From comments made,
I have overheard to hear.
While in the midst,
Of minding my own business.
And moisturizing creams?
Vitamins, exercise and dieting?
Will never prove to fool Mother Nature.
Or whoever it was that fathered time!
All of us will eventually visit self deception.
To fiction and delude of being immortal.
