Raw Is Truth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Raw!
Is the truth.
When sugar free to receive it.
Heard to hear blatant and blunt.
Upfront.
Without apologies made.
Or seeking of forgiveness.

Stripping minds bare.
From delusions covered up.
Smothering evasive pretentions.
Ripping away comfortable masks worn.
Adorning false faces.
Appearing on all sides,
Of racial divisions.

Exposing the worshipping of greed.
And not the faking of religious beliefs.
Claimed with dedicated devoted faith,
God knows to be deceived.
With a cloaking of evil.
To present an acceptance of negativity.
And a devilment doing its best not to end.
But will!
