Implacable

Implausible    1/15/2015

A lie can be plausible

But the truth can be a horror

As any good fiction

Must appear logical

And believable.

But the truth

Can be anything

Even cruel and crazy

As men give in to demons

And run off a cliff. 

The biggest lie of all

Is hidden in plain sight

But many fall all over themselves

To look the other way. 

It is with a dawning horror

That you stare reality in the face

When you realize for the first time

The unimaginable hatred

And cruel indifference.  

Many good people have compromised

Against implacable evil

Giving in

And giving up

To threats and intimidation. 

Backing up

A little more each day

Until they are reduced

To begging and derision. 

Put off to play for time

As evil stacks the deck

Leaving the good outnumbered

And irrelevant. 

It is happening now

Because first they must name it

Before they can act 

The enemy blamed in print

Before they are attacked. 

The future is here

And the time is now

Because what you see

Is not a coincidence

Or an accident. 

What was true

Is still true

And what is wrong

Remains evil.

Undefended

And unprotected

We fend for ourselves

If not for God

We would dwindle

And disappear.
