The proof of truth with evidence, <br />Does not excuse the feelings of one abused... <br />By those who choose to deceive purposely. <br /> <br />Nor should anyone expect, <br />One affected to be readily forgiving... <br />Of those accepting deceptions to believe. <br /> <br />Often people easily deceived like this, <br />Will quickly accuse one innocent of being the culprit. <br />To victimize as their defense for being convinced of lies. <br /> <br />'I tried repeatedly to tell them, <br />I apologize for being stupid. <br />However... <br />Each time I attempted this, <br />They looked at me as if I was an idiot.' <br /> <br />~Well... <br />I can understand the confusion. <br />You see... <br />If you had said, <br />You apologize for being a 'fool'... <br />They may have 'had' a reason, <br />And a cause to excuse you for being stupid.~ <br /> <br />'What difference does that make. <br />An apology is an apology.' <br /> <br />~I agree. <br />And in 'some' cases that may be true. <br />Although in your particular situation, <br />It would have been easy for them... <br />To forgive a fool for being stupid. <br />But... <br />For whatever the reason, <br />They believe you to be an 'idiot'. <br />And being an idiot is a never ending process.~ <br /> <br />'So what should I do? ' <br /> <br />~Avoid at all cost, <br />Any excuse they wish to use... <br />To have you arrested for stalking and harassment. <br />Stay as far away from them as possible. <br />You could end up in jail.~ <br /> <br />'What would you have done? ' <br /> <br />~I carry a bat in the trunk of my car. <br />You idiots are all over the place these days. <br />You wouldn't have gotten that close to me. <br />But then again... <br />I've witnessed you be a fool on several occasions. <br />And if 'ever' you see me go into my trunk to get my bat... <br />Don't ask me any questions about that. <br />Just run. And, as fast as you can.~<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-never-ending-process/
