This Path To Travel Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Anyone's commitment to truth.
Honesty and reality.
Is in no need today,
For approval or the seeking of it.
Since this has become a rarity.
And those who have gone through,
Being belittled and demeaned...
For expecting the same respect,
From others to get.
Should not get upset to discover,
Lonely can be this path to travel.
When so many have chosen destinations,
Living their lives to deceive.
Believing to find happiness to achieve.
To distance themselves from their messed up,
Minds.
Finding they did not have to go too far.
