DM Babbit Poet Blank verse

The Lie You Believe

It's a fleeting moment
      a second in flight
when you heard it
      not really comprehending it
       not really having listened
but there it was
      and you knew
       but couldn't
              wouldn't 
               shouldn't
accept it without question 
      and you knew the truth
it was the ultimate test
      the exposure of your character
       the reveal of your self
if you said nothing
       and turned a blind eye
       a deaf ear
               it could
               it would
become the lie you believe in.
