So Many Minds Are Left Fractured Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So Many Minds Are Left Fractured



So many minds are left fractured,
By the ease of manufactured lies.
Truth has been reduced,
To grains of sand hidden under rocks.
Only to be tossed in the face of those shocked,
When truth effectively stops to block their delusions.

'Mother? Mommy?
That big bad man...
Is trying to take my fantasies away.
He says he is my daddy.'

~You can't come running to me,
Everytime someone says to you the same thing.
I've been your mother AND father.~

'Now you've got me totally confused.
So are you...
A cross dresser?
Transvestite?
Homosexual, lesbian or an 'amphibian'? '

~Amphibian? ~

'Yeah.
Something that can take off from either land or water.'

~I may be blessed with many talents,
But I have yet been able to do that.
And besides,
What difference does it make who throws sand in your face?
You will learn to throw it back.~

But...
Suppose I'm not near a beach when that happens.
Will you then teach me how to fly?
