Far Away Is The Distance

By Lawrence S. Pertillar

Too far away is the distance.

And beyond suspicion,

To persuade the existence...

Of a betrayal and treason.

Has had a definite effect,

On those who insist...

The disbelieving of it.

Much too far away,

Is a consciousness.

Removed from the using of common sense.

And truth to connect revealed to see,

Reality as it is...

Exposing evidence and proof of it.

Has not been created to fiction.

Delude or made to make believe.

Although...

This evidence and proof of it,

Brought down to Earth.

Has left many upset.

Crazed and stirred into an uproar.

Defending themselves in protest.

Threatening civil unrest to keep protected,

A way of life.

A way of life lived,

More accepting to remain and stay deceived.

And...

From the bottom to the top out of mouths,

Are lies heard to drop.

Without sense at all to make.

How reality and the truth of it,

Has made them the ones victimized.

Done to purposely betray their values,

In a treasonous way.

They refuse to accept and believe,

Those they follow with a loyalty to trust...

Would pick them to select,

To be the first to crush under a bus.

With their own permission given to allow!

'How could they do this to us!'

'Who?

The ones diverse in ethnicity?

Those you blame to claim,

Have intentions to destroy your way of life?'

'No.

The evidence and facts reveal,

Has left our eyes looking in another direction.'

'Oh.

And just how far away is that direction?'

'Closer than our suspicions,

Had been persuaded to suspect.'

'Then...

What is the reason and cause,

You protest with a threatening...

Of a havoc to have it and a civil unrest?'

'That is an entitlement we have,

To ignite and incite...

A fighting amongst ourselves!'

'So far away,

Has been the use of common sense.

And today it has escalated,

In ways it makes no difference.

As to who is crazed or not!'

'What a negative,

Cynical and sarcastic thing to say.'

'I apologized.

Let me say it another way.

So far away,

Has been the use of common sense.

And today thoughtlessness has escalated,

In ways this makes no difference,

To the ones mindless mindless and crazed.

Positively speaking.'

'That is better stated.

And more appreciated to accept,

From our point of view!'
