There Is No Retreating Or Ceasing Done

Painful realities
Are rising and creates unrest.
Truths today are being expressed.
And this is bringing those who know this...
Extreme unhappiness.
Acknowledgements leave some cringing.
Hiding misdeeds can no longer be kept swept.
Or buried under falsities...
Now clearing from the eyes of those who slept.
Those who 'see' the bigger picture.
And the difference between deceit and honesty.
One is clearly based on fact.
And the emergence of facts,
Have shocked those taken aback.
There is no retreating or ceasing done.
Enforcing a condoned ignorance,
Comes 'home' to stun!
