24/7 Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The only thing that seems,
To be kept justified today...
Are lies to be told to be believed.
And people wanting others,
To be held accountable for choices made...
They did not make.
Although accused to be responsible...
For an ignorance not faced,
Are the ones who refuse...
To excuse away the truth.
But today truth spoken...
Has all been chased from consciousness.

'We want justice.'

~From where do you wish to get it?
From an amusement park?
Or...
How about an indepth self-examination? ~

'We want what we want to be believed.'

~Oh.
Why didn't you say that?
We are working on legalizing weed 24/7.~

'Uh...
Some of us would like to know,
Would that be everyday?
How will our delusions kept be affected? '
