But Why? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why...
Do people wonder why?
With all that's in their faces.
Why do people 'Why?
With attempts made to escape it.
Then try,
To deny...
What is 'there',
To be seen.

Offended to defend a disbelief without end.
But why?
Suited to be rooted,
But to boot it is refused.
But why?
Is a ridding to admit,
What exists should be removed.
With eyes to leave wide open and not to fear truth.
But why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why do people lie?
Just to hide,
From what is real?
Why do people hide behind lies that will be revealed.

Offended to defend a disbelief without end.
And suited to be rooted,
But a booting is refused.
Yet a ridding would admit,
What exists should be removed.
But why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why do people lie?
Just to hide,
From what is real...
If it is felt to feel.
And why?
So much disguised,
Goes undenied?
Could it be that many people don't realize,
They've been hypnotized and deceived?
