Me Neither!

Would you be convinced,
Someone who had spent decades...
Providing evidence to others,
With a making of logical sense...
That a way to achieve bona fided success,
Seen without question...
Came with a dedicated implementation,
Of motivation, discipline and the giving of respect?

And these same people,
Who just yesterday...
Are today embracing reality,
With a newly acquired consciousness.
Would you be convinced of this?

'Well, I...uh...? '

Me neither!
That kind of reality coming to many overnight,
Would be too frightening for anyone to fathom.

'It, it..well...I..I...'

Relax.
It's not going to happen.
My question was hypothetical.
Calm down.
There is no need to break out into a sweat.
