The Taste Of Deceit Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Let's...
Not discuss treason.
Or the reason why...
We attempt to try to deny,
The existence of it has not been in our midst.

Let's...
Not discuss disparities.
Or who believed an implementation,
Would provide some with benefit...
With a doing as they please would never cease.

But let's do acknowledge just those few,
Who have created conflicts with a choice to prove...
They can do it anywhere with an administrating of it,
To expose their greed that has resulted in their illnesses.
Be it physical or mental or both on display.

Let's...
Not discuss treason or reasons to get upset by this.
OR who has been duped foolishly to invite the arrival,
Of their own restricted limits.
No.

But...
Let's discuss an appreciation for lessons taught.
If we can examine to dissect what we have bought.
To then seek with a searching sought to have revealed,
When and 'how' did we become addicted to the taste of deceit.
