Lawrence S. Pertillar Disbelief Poems

They come to display dismay.
Shock, horror and grief.
At The Annual Disbelief Festival.
From miles around.
...

Eyes by now,
Should be wider to open.
To not miss and clearly see.
Who in a position of leadership,
...

I...ummm.
Uh...huh?
Eeeooouhhhahhh.
I...eeee...
...

Disbelief kept,
Eventually invites madness.
To accept with it hoped,
Behavior found inappropriate...
...

No one can prevent an event,
That has happened...
From it happening again.
Since an event to prevent from its happening,
...

One needs only to open their eyes.
Wide.
And listen with their ears.
Without the aid of whispering peers.
...

If to them,
Others determined did not provide light.
Or encourage with an insistence persisted,
For them to open a door...
...

A return to relive,
A yesterday gone...
Is not going to 're-happen'.
...

From a serious point of view,
Who do you think would best represent...
The mood of the people and their concerns.
And remember...
...

Don't be ridiculous.
Of course I missed you.
I wasn't trying to avoid you.
...

Even though you're numb,
By that which has been done...
More is coming.
More is coming!
...

Mayan texts were burned.
Egyptian monuments,
Were tampered and disfigured.
...
