Truth Shocks Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Often it remains to stay unforgiving.
When faced for what it is.
Truth shocks.

And as an eclipse for it begins to move,
Shown are the glaring rays from the Sun...
Exposing again to cast those shadows,
Upon the ones with it done...
Who has used their time to abuse others.
And in unbelievable detail.
Truth shocks.

How lies can be told to sell deceptions sold.
And in incredible increments.
Like a lay-away plan.
Can come to haunt those with sustained,
Buyer's remorse.
Truth shocks without stopping tears dropped.

And,
Unfortunately...
Often it remains to stay unforgiving.
When faced for what it is.
Truth shocks.
Especially when a forgiveness wished,
Is nowhere on the horizon to appear.
When the Sun comes to block out,
To stop...
All deceptions for what they had been.
