Sacrificing Their Lives Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When blatant corruption,
Openly exposed to perform...
At the highest levels of government.
To have this debated.
As if to excuse the truth,
And proof of the evidence produced.
With this continued,
As if protecting the effectiveness...
Of delusions many perceive,
Are being threatened by criminal misdeeds.

Not only is there an epidemic,
Diseasing a quality of life.
Allowed to eventually disappear from sight.
But also detected and refused to accept,
Is the depth of mental instability.
Disbelieved...
Is the cause and reason,
Those who have been chosen and picked...
To sit in positions of leadership,
Represent the interest of the people.

Whether instigated to debate this.
Or decide their way of life,
Criminalized at the heights of hypocrisy...
Is without need to examine,
How the marketing of what is 'great'...
Should remain to stay celebrated.
From the cesspools and gutters.
Done to appreciate...
The stench of decadence.
And the overwhelming smell of it.
Released into the atmosphere.
No one from it can escape.
To be made to believe and convinced,
Humanity will ultimately...
Recognize the progress before and not after,
Sacrificing their lives to deception and lies!
